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.
Ferguson’s 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.
Exactly!!
LOL indeed!
From the dailywire report:
““One last point here: Ferguson gives the lockdown credit, which is *interesting* — the UK only began [its] lockdown 2 days ago, and the theory is that lockdowns take 2 weeks or more to work,” stressed Berenson. “Not surprisingly, this testimony has received no attention in the US — I found it only in UK papers. Team Apocalypse is not interested.”
So Ferguson IS saying he is considering lockdown — but the reporter thinks that makes no sense.
I also do not think that half of UK is already infected. I think if it spread that much, they would have the same crowded hospitals as New York does now. And I don’t think half of New York City has it yet either.
I HOPE that they are all at 50%, because that would be great for ending the lockdowns. But I will be shockingly surprised if when we start random antibody testing we find 50% infected.
Ooooooh, it’s Greta Thunberg!
Interesting...
Good point!
I guess we can also include the Prisoners in the Phantom zone as survivors with Ka-el

Careful! You’re going to wind up on the Nut-Job Conspiracy Ping List with some of us!
Normally not until they (85% of the time) actually become ill. The “self-quarantine” is to provide a number of days to see if symptoms do develop. A good % remain asymptomatic and some days later test negative. But my point is that even if an asymptomatic person is out and about, provided no symptoms have started, 85% of the time, viral shedding is not yet occurring and transmission to others considered unlikely. The contagion control question is when and if someone who is asymptomatic starts to show symptoms - where are they, what are they doing, are they out, are they alone? With those questions in mind, and initial self-quarantine period is prudent, to see if symptoms do develop.

He needs to threaten to report me to the Mods if I don’t add him.
It’s a rite of passage.
Coronavirus did not originate in a wet market in China.....it originated when some Russian hookers urinated on a bed in Trump’s hotel room.....Robert Mueller, Michael Avenetti, and Adam Schiff were all super spreaders of this virus......symptoms include painful swelling of the emoluments
Soros involved? Yep...
