I never would've thought of that one, but you're probably right. Every time I feel that electric twinge in my big toe & think, oh shit is this the gout starting up, I automatically start checking myself for signs of white supremacy too.

I don't know if this is true, but I get the impression that gout is not so prevalent as it once was.

I remember when our eldest son was around 5 he came down with scarlet fever. We had a very good doctor who explained that the treatment was pretty much the same as it had been 80 yrs previously, but that the outlook was much improved, though for no reason to do with medical science.

It seems that the disease had become much less deadly as well as less common over time & the reason why was entirely unknown.

Let's hope the same thing happens with the kung flu.
