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.

So, Soros is tied to Imperial College, AND a Chinese cure, too...
I saw some great runway models, recently.

I had a great seat, too. I had a window seat.
Could. Get. Used. To. That.
Saw it...other than some hot spots which we would expect, the article reflects what I’m seeing on the ground in central Virginia....with 97 percent of ALL THOSE TESTED in Virginia testing negative for active virus thus far...though those reports lag as test turn arounds in Va are 2-4 days and who knows, 1-3 days for Va Dept of Health to update each report to the public sites.
Oh I expect positive tests to slowly rise and more deaths in terms of numbers but I’m questioning the virulence and transmission capabilities of this virus. When we will peak, I don’t know but Central Va’s hospitals are not being over-run right now. Yes you can get real sick and die with this virus...but we may need to re-think our individual chances for even contracting the disease.

So, Soros funds Imperial College, where the x25 too high model was made, AND is into Chinese pharma, working on ‘the cure’.
Hmm...
BTTT!
He must be using the same modeling software as the Global Warming hoaxers.
Article snipes saying “Team Apocalypse”, apparently the US gov, is not interested in this. Wondering.
So where did the concept of the “asymptomatic spreader” come from; what research showed it?
Here in Oklahoma, four people out of four million, have died of the virus. Yet the state is in a state of siege. We had ten times that die from the flu this past flu season.
I'm not saying to ignore it. But we need to keep it in perspective. And we don't need small time small town mayors having the ability to impede our lives and freak everybody out.
Maybe they can be rented out for other stuff?
His family misses their TP

That and the consensus was to hide inside for 8-12 weeks and magically everything will get better. The flue or any virus just doesnt die off after a month and never return.
Was he thinking like a scientist or like a political leftist. I’d say the latter. This is why I don’t necessarily believe any thing that comes out of a “scientists” mouth. For the record, I thought if this thing were going to kill millions it would have piled up corpses a lot faster than it seemed to be doing.
Its not just the elderly. There are many in their 40s-50s who are hospitalized.
