I see some pandemic panic folks excuse the unconscionable error by Professor "climate change will kill us all" Ferguson who overestimated deaths by a ratio of 25x to panic the west into economic suicide. Bottom line: he said quarantine until vaccine, but now says "nah, oops."https://twitter.com/RaheemKassam/status/1243237773441671169 …

Everybody seemed to understand he was saying this. "And their model, if correct, suggests that doing this for a short period of time wouldn’t be enough" but "have to continue until a vaccine is tested and approved and enough people are vaccinated."https://www.fastcompany.com/90479274/a-horrifying-report-says-flattening-the-curve-may-not-be-enough-but-there-are-reasons-it-might-be-wrong …
