      It appears that Dominic Cummings edited a blog from March 2019 to make it look like he saw coronavirus coming. Here's a rundown:https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/2020/05/dominic-cummings-press-conference-may-have-edited-blog-predicted-covid-19-coronavirus …

      Sarah Manavis Retweeted Faisal Islam

      🚨UPDATE: This is no longer a question of "may have" – No10 has confirmed he retroactively edited the blog https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/2020/05/dominic-cummings-press-conference-blog-predicted-covid-19-coronavirus …https://twitter.com/faisalislam/status/1265237708072464386 …

      Sarah Manavis added,

      Faisal IslamVerified account @faisalislam
      NEW: No 10 source acknowledges blog was indeed updated, but says the original version from last year linked to an article [in the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists] which did discuss coronaviruses [in the bits not quoted from originally but subsequently added].

      The funny thing about this No10 clarification (that the report he referenced did mention coronaviruses, just that Cummings didn't post them in his blog) is just that: THEY WERE THERE. But super forecaster Cummings didn't deem them worthy of inclusionhttps://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/2020/05/dominic-cummings-press-conference-blog-predicted-covid-19-coronavirus …

      Also, now that it's confirmed, might I add: editing your old blogs on your first day back at work is very "I'll be spending today catching up on emails" post-holiday energyhttps://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/2020/05/dominic-cummings-press-conference-blog-predicted-covid-19-coronavirus …

          I still can't wrap my head around the motives here. Did he genuinely think no one was going to check? Did he think you couldn't find out it was edited? Or is the 4D chess theory in action? I just can't imagine doing something so embarrassingly obvious.https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/2020/05/dominic-cummings-press-conference-blog-predicted-covid-19-coronavirus …

          Spare a thought for his wife. She went on @BBCRadio4 to say how dedicated he is to his work, what with 16 hour days, and now it turns out that this is what he was spending his time on. #cummings #nowondertheyhadchildcareissues
