What are you complaining about? He's taken some available data, made some points and illustrated them using graphs.

You might not find it edifying enough (PS I like the bro-science phrase!), however, it might spur an actual medical science specialist to do some real figures.

PPS. I put up coronavirus posters up at work a week ago last Monday and brought some hand-sanitiser in. Everyone laughed and poked-fun, some even baulked when I demanded they hand-sanitise at my desk. No jokes any more, people are even washing their hands.

For the past six months I've been driving my car 13 miles on the motorway to the city park-and-ride, then taking my folding e-bike out of the boot and cycling the last couple of miles to work.

I use the building's freight lift and keep the cycle behind my desk. Work visitors INSIST on touching the handlebars whilst talking to me.

I wear hi-viz (ISO 20471 Class III) hardshell jacket/softshell jacket and cycle helmet. I have daylight blinkers at front and back of cycle. Also, Bring-Bring bell.

I get "Nice Bike" on the way in, and on the way out. Car appears to be moping.

Negate poor posture by improving core strength.

Try Kettlebells.
