"The first of Ms Staat's visits to Prof Ferguson was on Monday March 30, a week into coronavirus lockdown." Looks like even he didn't believe his own prediction. [Post edited 5 May 2020 22:16]

Professor Neil Ferguson on 08:31 - May 6 with 1704 views | Crawfordsboot | It all seems rather pathetic that a Telegraph journalist has spent days, if not weeks, of his life doorstepping this guy in the hope of digging up some dirt. Sure he has made a fool of himself, as have a few politicians around the world. In the greater scheme of things this is little more than sensational noise. Cue indignant hot air from The Torygraph. He’s resigned - out of the picture - move on. | | | |

I agree. He was foolish & had to resign, but if he's our best scientist, it will actually be a loss to the country. The BBC were revelling today in their "scoop" that some hairdressers are operating illegally. Yes, they shouldn't be doing it (nor should their clients) but most of these things are on a very small scale & will make a negligible difference to controlling the virus. | |

How do you come to the conclusion he's our best scientist? | |

That's not really true though. If a hairdresser sees 10 people a day and each has 4 people in their households then that's 40 possible new infection vectors every day. It's also fair to assume that if someone is willing to ignore the rules to get something so unimportant as a haircut then they are likely flouting the rules in many other regards as well and likely seeing people increasing the vectors again. This is the problem with exponential growth and why the rules need to be observed. As for the Prof, of course it's relevant. He stood up and said "this must be done" and then didn't do it. It's pretty shameful to expect others to do what you aren't willing to do yourself. He has been rightly outed. SB | |

I am assuming he is, or one of the best. If you look at his CV, you would probably agree. | |

Professor Neil Ferguson on 09:51 - May 6 with 1638 views | ElephantintheRoom | Well its a tad difficult to be sympathetic but this bloke's modelling has been absurd and inaccurate on every viral scare since foot and mouth, including SARS and th laughable bird flu 'pandemic' - and usually out by a factor of 1 million on what panned out in reality. The problem facing incompetent politicians is how do you factor in worst case scenarios into a world where you are out of touch with reality. The worst case scenario is that you could be hit by a meteorite every time you step out of the door... but I'm guessing you dont stop that worst case scenario affecting your life? This 'story' is just a tory plant to avert prying eyes from the real story... deaths are now at 54,000 - and rising, despite the too late pretend lockdown. Prof Pinocchio is a two faced git - but he is working for two faced gits, so no surprise there... and as he has had covid already he is merely following the science. | |

He told everyone that if you don't lockdown then 500,000 people would die. And then he went and ignored his own advice. There are people abusing me for allowing visitors yet defending him. It's possible that this story has now been published because his models are becoming more and more discredited. If he had been proved right, this story would have been buried. | | | |

He was the one person who needed to follow the rules. There is no concrete evidence that having had it makes one safe and non-contagious. She also suspected her husband had it so him agreeing to meet meant that she travelled whilst possibly contagious. It's pretty hard to criticise anyone for doing whatever they want now as they can just point and say that the governments own modeller isn't following the rules. Some have started that already.
