      This thread is admirable for many reasons, not least of which is maintaining calmness in the face of absurd claim.https://twitter.com/JeannieSGersen/status/1358267692256493568 …

          Yes, but wld be like Lou Gehrigs in the sense that we name it after a well known sufferer while noting it preceding him and being a widespread affliction.
