      I kid, of course. No one who's said that the pandemic is over has ever self-reflected even the slightest bit or gone back and said "I was terribly wrong"

          I don’t think many of the professional forecasters have, including those who have been over pessimistic.

          Most of the professional infectious disease modelers presented a range of scenarios rather than a single estimate, but only the worst or best case ones were picked up and reported

          like old mate Sebastian Rushworth who seems to have become famous with his blog - despite claiming that the pandemic was over in Sweden last year.
