Covid Experts

[Oldfellah]

Im getting sick of all these so called "Experts" predicting about Covid saying that we will have X amount of cases if we do this and that. So far none of these so called predictions have ever eventuated as far as Im aware, whats your opinion on them?

Especially Michael Baker he is a real prophet of doom, I bet he is fun at parties. 

You need to educate yourself about epidemiology and computer modelling. They are not just guessing.   Epidemiology is not an exact science because of the many variables and unknowns.  The actual experts are not making predictions, they are telling us what are the most likely outcomes in various sets of circumstances, and the Cabinet has the weighty task of deciding what is the safest way forward in a world in which unknowns sometimes dominate and people's lives are at stake.  

I have enormous respect and admiration for Professor Baker.   In the middle of a lethal global pandemic "fun at parties" is a pretty shallow insult.

Im too old to educate myself thanks Olive, I leave it up to people like you.
Modelling prepared for the Ardern government by Shaun Hendy suggests that New Zealand could see up to 7000 COVID-19 deaths a year even with a high proportion of the population jabbed.

I think that was a bit of a guess and a scare to get people jabbed and as for being shallow ... yup thats me get over it! I didnt insult anyone, its not allowed on here
