Does anyone else wonder why lpm is adding to this thread?

It seems a bit 'no worse than flu' thing

Let's have a weighty discussion
My avatar was a scientific result that was later found to be 'mistaken' - I rarely claim to be 100% correct
ETA 5/8/20: I've been advised that the result was correct, it was the initial interpretation that needed to be withdrawn
Meta? I'd say so!

That's horrible. My condolences.
And remember that if you botch the exit, the carnival of reaction may be coming to a town near you.

Horribly similar-looking incident in Glasgow now, in a hotel currently housing assylum seekers. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland- ... t-53195939

6 hositalised with knife wounds including one police officer, three dead including the attacker, who was shot by police.
