manboobs109 Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 I'm going to make a prediction. Come autumn Sturgeon will decide we need a 'short sharp lockdown' because of rising numbers. Boris will refuse to fund furlough and there will be lots of squabbling and chat about how we don't have control of all the levers etc. Bookmarked Link to comment

I've no problem with them making predictions. But it's very annoying that nobody seems to revisit past predictions to see how accurate they were. We shouldn't be listening to anyone who has a history of being wrong, we should be giving airtime to those who have got things right. If there are no consequences to getting it wrong people will continue to get it wrong. Link to comment

Clinicians have become conditioned to be totally risk averse, in a world inhabited by an ever litigious public. Link to comment

In other areas it's non existent. Media, politics, academia all give attention to those who make bold or eye-catching predictions. But nobody keeps score on these predictions, so it's impossible to tell the difference between noisy bluffers and people with genuine insight. Been reading some of the superforecasters stuff, and the number one way to improve all this is to keep score. Link to comment

sheepcrooky Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Pretty sure the original targets were all over 50’s and vulnerable groups by mid April. Never seen anything about the early 40’s by mid April. Link to comment

Yeah nae bother Africa, just have it for free, forget the hundreds of millions it would have cost to invent and manufacture, you just go ahead and have it for nowt. These companies are almost doing the vaccines at cost anyway, the profits and dividends are from the huge range of other good things they've designed to save lives. Why shouldn't they profit. Why doesn't Africa invent its own one instead of putting the begging bowl out. 1 Link to comment

Lockdown 330,000 positive tests today. Over 2,000 deaths everyday but it's obvious that's way under reported. Saw a clip on the news where they are burning bodies on the street because the crematoriums are at capacity. Can only get worse. Link to comment

Is it because the virus is worse or because India’s a fucking midden and their health system is inadequate? Running out of oxygen and the likes... Of course their deaths are underreported due to their caste system, a lot of the population are not even classed as humans. I read on Twitter (I know!) that it was the Kent variant that is rife over there, which could make sense due to our historical ties with India. Link to comment
