What is Correlation and causality: a COVID-19 conundrum about?

I read with interest the two contributions by J.D. Chalmers and co-workers to the July issue of the __European Respiratory Journal__. In a reply to correspondence concerning the inhaled corticosteroid withdrawal controversy in COPD [1], they suggest that A. Agusti succumbs to the fallacy of __post hoc, ergo, propter hoc__ [2], __i.e.__ A occurred, then B occurred: therefore, A caused B. However, as we know, correlation is not causality.

Who reads Correlation and causality: a COVID-19 conundrum?
