“It is possible that this thing took Italy’s entire elderly death total for 2020 and just compressed it into the space of a few weeks.”

Very interesting possibility. 2021 will tell...

It’s funny how so many fearpers believed this idiot. He was paraded out by the MSM as a leading expert and the feapers bought it hook line and sinker. Morons.

A model run on a computer depends entirely on the abilities and biases of the creator. There is no magic inherent on programs run on a computer, in fact, the programs are dumb as a rock.

If the creator of the models is full of $h!t, then the models spit out the same thing.

Very true. We had garbage data because instead of doing their JOB and tracking it the CDC spent the $8 billion a year we were giving them holding seminars in Hawaii on Gender Bias in Gun Violence Statistics.

So his first guess was 25x as large as his current one? That’s what I call consistency.

Trump’s presser today should be REAL interesting.
He spent the morning on a conference call with G-20 leaders.
No doubt THIS is what was discussed.

It is interesting that many experts who have now collected enough data to determine this was never going to be as bad as the flu season just two years ago... are all beginning to backtrack to save their credibility. The worst case scenarios were pushed hard here with the hope of getting rid of President Trump, but he beat them at their own game. But they managed to start a worldwide panic. Partisan scientists are always predicting some type of disaster... Look at global warming for reference.

“How could anyone with half a brain even believe that sh*t?”

I dunno. Ask the handful of morons who breathlessly get on here every single day trying to convince the thinkers of the group to jump on the suicide train with them.

We are not tired of anything. I’ve been calling this 6 trillion dollar stimulus wasted money..

Got called all kinds of names.

But it will be doled out and forgotten and congressmen and businesses will get even more rich and our debt will be 30 trillion now.

Epidemiologist Neil Ferguson, we have a bill of $2.2 Trillion for you. That is just the US Senate bill to deal with coronavirus passed last night to deal with economic fallout from the hysteria you helped create..
That's just for starters. More to come later.

Too many of the world’s scientists suffer from Jor-El Syndrome.

“If only they had listened to ME the could have saved themselves!”

It’s a conceit.

But in part, it wasn’t that he says he was WRONG, he is now taking into account the social distancing that has been implemented.

IN other words, if you took action to stop the spread, his model says it worked.
