It is Thursday the 2nd of November 2017 and you're listening to Skeptics with

the K, the podcast for Science, Reason and Critical Thinking. Skeptics with

the K is a production of the Merseys Skeptic Society.

I am your host, Mike Hall. With me today is Marsh.

Hello.

And Alice. So, QED happened.

Of course.

It feels like a while ago now. It does feel like a while ago. It was only a couple of weeks ago.

I'm still getting over QED Lurgi. How is your QED, because you got the QED Lurgi bag.

I've been really, really, really poorly. Like, for two weeks, I've been like hacking up my guts.

I shouldn't laugh at that.

But... No, she has.

She has. Really, really poorly. My... It's gone on to my chest and I've just been coughing constantly. It's been horrible.

We all went away to Wales for a week and mine in Nicholas bedroom was neck to yours and Warren so I can confirm that Alice had been hacking

up her cuff the entire of the bloody nights. I was having to take

codeine at night to make sure that I could sleep. There's a cough suppressant

as a cough suppressant because I couldn't

stop coughing which meant I couldn't sleep, Warren couldn't sleep,

apparently Nickeloramarch couldn't sleep. So yeah.

This is a lesson to epidemiologist everywhere. You get 600 people in one room, they're going to

Because Rick from Greater Manchester Skeptic, he was there. He had a cough. He was, that's true.
