No getting around the reality that the virus will kill as many as it will. Gotta go out there and live or die. Just like every other day of life.

These alleged experts were bureaucrats and academics, not practicing physicians.

As a result, Imperial’s model is vulnerable to producing wildly different and conflicting outputs based on the same initial set of parameters. Run it on different computers and you would likely get different results. In other words, it is non-deterministic.

How is such a model used? It is simple. The "expert" runs the model multiple times. They may tweak inputs a bit if the results don't "look right".

When the results "look right" (confirm the "expert's opinion"), they are accepted and treated as gospel.

It is the way it works.

Models used for political purposes are not independent indicators of the best policy decisions.

They are props used to support the particular "expert's" desired result.

Trusting is irrelevant. Do NOT put them in charge of the fate of the economy, live or did (e.g. Fauci !!).

Richard Feynmann famously said: “Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts”.

Never let technocrats dictate public policies.

They are too narrowly focused on their one specialty and have no accountability to the general public.

The “esteemed” Dr. Fauci’s words paraphrased; “We are only drawing out the infection rate so that hospitals don’t get overwhelmed. Eventually the same number of people will get infected and the same number will die.”

Middle Two verses of the Bible...

Psalm 118: 8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. 9 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

I don’t. The most difficult people I have to work with are those with the letters PhD after their name. They think that just because they learned ‘more and more about less and less’, they can never be wrong.
