And now for something completely different...

Mystic of Holyhead (successor to Lynn Rival)

Tue 18 May 2021 12:41

For many months we've been deeply worried at how ill-informed most people are about what's happening around the world. Perhaps many are too preoccupied to seek out more reliable sources of information than the mainstream broadcasters or social media.

Anyone with concerns about the effects of government interventions should check out a fun quiz produced by the irrepressible Tom Woods.

https://www.covidchartsquiz.com/

For a more serious quiz, have a go at the HART Group's 12 questions

https://www.hartgroup.org/quiz/covid-19-quiz/

For the even more curious we recommend Sebastian Rushworth's recent book called "Covid: why most of what you know is wrong". It's very readable and available from usual sources.

It's time to get on with life.
