The "actual epidemiologists" at the WHO waited months to declare this a pandemic after it was already clear it was spreading throughout the world. They did this because they are incompetent and were in the pocket of the CCP.
If you want to fault this guy for something it's trusting the data out of China at all and even considering it appropriate to do analysis with those numbers.
Again, 170k estimated vs 220k actual deaths is not a huge difference when dealing with a highly multiplicative event like a pandemic.
- IvyMike 6y ago170k is his "final count"; 220k is the current running total. There's plenty of time for an order of magnitude of wrongness.
- googthrowaway42 6y agoWell at that point we can revisit the discussion. Until then there's no real issue with the prediction.
