>>13893991I personally subscribe to Hamers theory that viruses are used as a bodies detoxification mechanism. 1890 was around a huge era of large scale industrialisation in the UK, and things like benzene, butadiene and heavy metals would have really started to circulate heavily in a massive way around this time. I believe that would explain influenza, and why some people like myself never catch it. I've helped a lot of people with "covid" during this pandemic, I'll go round and help them cook meals, bring shopping etc and not get ill from them.
