Neil Ferguson has been running his mouth in the press again
That socially dysfunctional, over-educated guesser just can't get enough of the limelight, can he? You would have thought his last ridiculously wide prediction would have driven a bit of humility into him but I guess not.
Not to worry Pat, this is July all over again. As soon as numbers go up a bit the scientists love the attention, the NHS whines like little b1tches and the politicians panic - and the media reports all of it as though it was fact. The chap that has been very good at predictions (he's not in SAGE obviously) reported the other day that the latest increase is due to schools being back full time and is not sustainable, he's seeing them come down already in his forecast.
And when it's over the scientists and the NHS will crawl back into their holes until they see their next chance for a bit of publicity and self-serving doom mongering.
The pandemic is over, I'm never again obeying a single rule I dislike and will lead my life as I choose to lead it. Suggest you do the same, much easier that way.
