To be frank, I made similar predictions. I knew exactly what kind of virus this was, but I kind of assumed the US government was preparing this whole time.
It was only towards mid-to-late February that I could see we had a problem, when none of the expected government responses happened, or happened weeks after they would have been helpful.
- Geee 7y agoHe made that prediction on 19th, three days ago. Either he isn't following the numbers or he predicts a total shutdown and a cure. Maybe if he's a genius it's possible for him to make "meta-level" predictions e.g. "research for cure is accelerated by 100% for every mortality %", and thus actually the epidemic severity would always be balanced by a faster cure. In any case, the prediction contradicts his views that the shutdown is unnecessary.
