Here's one for the Mad Scientists of Sage and our Lockdown Loon politicians to ponder over,
"Early-rising cricket lovers tuning into the second test between India and England in Chennai will have been astonished to see a crowd of thousands of fans, most of them without masks. The world’s most populous country has seen a dramatic reduction of Covid cases. One New Delhi hospital reported not a single Covid patient on its wards and total daily cases stand at around 8,000 with fewer than 100 deaths in a nation of 1.3 billion people. All restaurants, shops and markets have reopened and social events like weddings are back in full flow, with no “Covid passports” of the sort now being demanded in this country. As in Chennai, sporting events are allowing limited crowds back. The fall is attributed to the high prevalence of antibodies from exposure to the virus, or herd immunity, particularly in densely populated urban areas."
Yes he is BT. I remember him telling us in the autumn that the pandemic was essentially over. For "evidence" he quoted the website lockdownsceptics.org. In the piece below (October) Mike Yeadon asserted that the pandemic was "essentially over"
If you look at the graphics included (i wouldn't bother actually reading the article - it is long winded guff) it compares the Sage prediction with lockdown conspiracies own "true" facts.
Sage stated "Full blown pandemic continues"
Lockdown conspiracy claimed that the pandemic was "essentially over"
Sage stated that there would be, "Very large number of additional deaths, It will resume in the capital, will proceed at a similar speed as in spring"
Lockdown Conspiracy claimed that there would be "small regional outbreaks with far fewer deaths, it would not reignite in the capital, it would grow much more slowly than in the spring" and that the "Endemic equilibrium is imminent"
Sage got it essential right, lockdown Conspiracy got it hopelessly wrong. Yet some people are still hanging onto the words of people like Mike Yeadon and rubbishing what the true experts are telling us.
There have always been, and always will be, a group of people who look for their information to conspiracy websites. Be it climate change, covid or whatever. Scrutiny of evidence is good, and a range of viewpoints should be considered, but if you ignore the true experts and rely of a "bloke on the internet" then your view should be ruled null and void.
Here is the article from October. Just scroll down to the charts lower down.

I'm still not having it 59er. The UK death rate is "normal," the government just keep on ripping up the goalposts never mind moving them.
It's time we started to lobby our MP's and get this lockdown $hit off the agenda.
A complete waste of time discussing it with 59 BT, the discovery of the Lockdown Sceptics website seems to have tipped him over the edge, no doubt aided and abetted by the hysterical coverage of this epidemic by BBC and Guardian journalists. There is no talking to him about it at all, never mind trying to talk sense, but we must bear in mind that this is the poster who made a prediction of the number of deaths by the end of the year, he based his prediction on what the Mad Scientists of Sage were saying, and he over-estimated by many, many thousands, as did the Mad Scientists who were predicting over 4,000 deaths a day in December.
Anyway, trying to be sensible and rational about it, where I think Yeadon went astray (without reading through it all again) is that he didn't allow for the emergence of a new variant that would be more transmissable. This duly popped up in the London area in the 2nd week of December, peaked on the 29th December and has been in decline ever since.
But no matter 59 throwing his toys out of the pram yet again, in India they watch the cricket without masks, and eat out in restaurants, while we wear our muzzles and cower at home in Lockdown under pain of fines and imprisonment, and all while the Mad Scientists of Sage oversee one of the highest Covid death rates on the planet. Ah well, never mind, they know what they're doing don't they ?
At least 59 says they do, so one of us is happy and content then.
