Don't Panic! Lighten Up!
"It's too early to say what could be causing this, but it's never too early to say what isn't causing this," said local expert, Dr. Scott Rufflinger. "This could be caused by anything. But the one thing we know for certain is that it's definitely not what we're all thinking that's behind this — if you know what I mean. We can go ahead and rule that thing out right now because Science just called us on the phone and told us not to discuss it. We always follow Science."
According to sources, experts have been working tirelessly around the clock to try and get to the bottom of why so many seemingly perfectly healthy, athletic people are falling over suddenly. "I wish I could point to something in the past year or two that large groups of people were exposed to, or forced into, but nothing comes to mind," added Dr. Rufflinger. "If only there was one thing all these patients had in common."
At publishing time, experts said they had narrowed down the list of what most likely was causing these sudden health issues down to: climate change, racism, Christian Nationalism, standing up too quickly, standing up too slowly, and not eating enough bugs.

i think it's called a ' filler ' ... although i do not use this phrase i have caught myself beginning a sentence with "well" or "so".
just an observation - i figured you and others on here would have noticed it too; i don't recall hearing people use "go ahead" until several years ago.
well, that's all codis, i'm going to go ahead and eat my lunch now.
cheers : )
Good one. They don't mention what we know they should mention even once, just like mainstream media, to strengthen the joke
