Thanks but no thanks.
The govt are trying to bamboozle people with the (alleged ) science
behind their claims.
If it can be shown they are using bad science then their argument for
90 days collapses.
Thats why a technical discussion on the merits - or demerits - of
their case is crucial.
IMO : the real reason they want 90 days is to intimidate people and
break their spirit.
