Epidemiologist Neil Ferguson, who created the highly-cited Imperial College London coronavirus model, which has been cited by organizations like The New York Times and has been instrumental in governmental policy decision-making, offered a massive revision to his model on Wednesday.
Fergusons model projected 2.2 million dead people in the United States and 500,000 in the U.K. from COVID-19 if no action were taken to slow the virus and blunt its curve.
However, after just one day of ordered lockdowns in the U.K., Ferguson has changed his tune, revealing that far more people likely have the virus than his team figured. Now, the epidemiologist predicts, hospitals will be just fine taking on COVID-19 patients and estimates 20,000 or far fewer people will die from the virus itself or from its agitation of other ailments.
Ferguson thus dropped his prediction from 500,000 dead to 20,000.
But I gave you the chance to get to know your family. HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Put down that axe!
For the love of Pete, people. We’ve spent weeks now on FR having to see “we’re all doomed” vs. “it’s just the flu”, with every posted article being accompanied by “See? This proves I’m right and you’re stupid!”
Now one guy changes his computer model and we’re going to have to see “I told you so!” for the next week? This place is like an elementary school playground sometimes.
Again the factories HAVE reopened.
Microsoft's hardware supply chain ‘getting back on rails,’ says CEO Satya Nadella
Its not about the figures given by the Chinese Government.. See Chinese social media, Youtube, etc.
Listen US CEO’s who's companies have supply chains/factories in China.
Not a chance. This is globalist power grab and they need to keep the momentum and hysteria going to undermine Trump.
Except them to shout this down loudly and double down on the Chicken Little hysterics.
Jor-el however was correct and planet Krypton was blown to bits along with all the Kryptonians! Except for Ka-lel, anyway.
I read it in Tales of The Krypt!!
They all think they are Jor-El. That’s my point.
Now that’s a scary virus indeed!
2) Is this "Show up for work or else?"
It's foolish to accept ANYTHING out of the ChiComs at face value.
About as foolish as accepting ANYTHING from the mainstream media at face valve.
This is going to cost China a lot more than $2.2 trillion.
Reminds me of calculus. It wasnt the calculus that you got wrong, but the arithmetic, lol!
So, there —isn’t— asymptomatic spreaders of the Wuhan flu?
Sadly, yes. The press we granted great protections to in order to be well informed had turned into a tool of misinformation.
Or the Steve Harvey of Epidemiologists
You can believe anything you want.
Back at you, mate.
