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 …

He said absolutely no such thing. Neither inventing quotes, nor attempting to confect narratives based on flawed inferences clearly rebuked by the authors themselves will help anyone. https://twitter.com/neil_ferguson/status/1243294815200124928?s=21 …https://twitter.com/neil_ferguson/status/1243294815200124928 …

neil_fergusonVerified account @neil_ferguson1/4 - I think it would be helpful if I cleared up some confusion that has emerged in recent days. Some have interpreted my evidence to a UK parliamentary committee as indicating we have substantially revised our assessments of the potential mortality impact of COVID-19.Show this thread7 replies 0 retweets 4 likes -

First off, Ferguson has an interest in the panic, because of the War Room Pandemic Podcast. Second, why won’t you address the timeframes from the study?pic.twitter.com/zHemswfj8E

Oh sorry - about the months thing. Yeah what’s your point?

This is my point. Here you are claiming that 15 days was calculated into the original study as being able to reduce the scenarios from the worst case outcomes. I am seeing 3+ months. Can you point me to where it says 15 days in the imperial study? I could be wrongpic.twitter.com/iJs95QwN9H

Yes I can see how that was confusing. Not my intention. I should have been clear "the 15 days is being used as an indication of what the coming months will look like, and therefore lower the expectation within the modeling". Does that make sense?
