Do you feel like Alice in Wonderland, when confronted with rule 42? A review of the Coronavirus rules and regulations with Matt Pattison Side Effects

During Alice's adventures in Wonderland, she found herself in the presence of the King of Hearts. He wanted her to go, so he cited Rule 42: "All persons more than a mile high to leave the court." Heads turned to Alice. "I'm not a mile high," she objected. "You are," said the King. The queen testified that Alice is nearly two miles tall. "Well, I shan't go, at any rate," Alice said "besides, that's not a regular rule: you invented it just now."

[7 Mins 30] Are we trying to catch the wind with a sieve? Competing paradigm's in battle.
