Doomsday health modelling released at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic has proven to be a huge and costly overreaction, according to The Australian's Adam Creighton. The famous Neil Ferguson model released by the Imperial College in London predicted millions of deaths and prompted the implementation of strict lockdown restrictions in the UK and the US, Mr Creighton told Sky News host Paul Murray.
Similar models were used in Japan, Sweden and the Doherty Institute in Melbourne which forecasted even with a major lockdown and extreme social distancing restrictions, Australia would need at least 5,000 ICU beds. Mr Creighton said “it has been a great thing the virus has not been as lethal as we first thought, but the economic damage … is just enormous”.
...Says a journalist with a special interest in tax & financial policy. Health modelling is based on scenarios of zero, to varied control measures such as physical distancing and restrictions being implemented, and how those factors can alter the infection rate. It theoretical.
Honestly this stable of Murdoch’s muppets is unbelievable. Absolutely one way traffic with the story lines.
A fraud from the beginning. As though we don't have the means, both scientifically and physically to deal with this virus in western countries. If we took a common sense approach we would have defeated it long ago without having to destroy the economy. Take Taiwan as an example.
Yeah so China could distract to gain more territory & influence while selling more $hit to 1st world consumers who virtue signal but throw away everything Made in China?

US has 'given up' the fight against COVID-19 | Sky News AustraliaPerth USAsia Centre CEO Gordon Flake says it is “criminal” that states in the US are seeing a surge in cases of COVID-19. \n\nMore than 36,000 new cases were confirmed in the US in the past 24 hours, with new infections largely concentrated in southern and western states including Texas, Arizona and Florida. \n\nMr Flake told Sky News those particular states were suffering “despite having the information, despite having everything they need” after witnessing the devastating impact of the coronavirus in early hotspots such as New York and New Jersey. \n\n“It’s not a tragedy, it’s criminal,” he said. \n\n“The US no longer has the ability to do contact tracing, they no longer have a containment strategy, there’s no longer the political will to do a shutdown of the economy so all you’ve got is masks and that itself has become highly politicised.\n\n“So essentially the United States appears to have given up.” \n\nImage: AP Hmm they knew they couldn't control it in June 2019 and spread it to China...Hoping everyone will get it.. this is why they had the lies and the blame China process CCP only represents itself and the military regime in power without popular support。 Any words on China's criminal behavior ? Any words on China's violation of basic human rights? . . . . Silence. . . Hmm.
