Zeynep do you have a favorite theory / hypothesis

I am loathe to go swashbuckling publicly with theories into something this crucial but it is probably *the* most important question on the table and it's pretty amazing that it's treated like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

And they never apply this high standard of proof to their preferred remedies of mass lockdowns & testing/tracing. I can see why – it's a fast-moving virus, we need answers even if they're not perfect! But they they apply a dramatically higher standard to masks, weather, BCG, etc.

Yep. Very frustrating. I'm pretty convinced on the first one, and the last two have suggestive data with trials underway. But read the article and it's described as "tenuous theories" because of the way WHO speaks rather than: actually, very interesting and we're looking into it.
