Re: Coronavirus

Quote:
didn’t read a single journalist in January or February who predicted that Britain would be locked down in March. I read lots of journalists who said that Covid 19 would be no worse than seasonal flu and we had nothing to worry about. I didn’t read a single journalist who in mid-January accurately predicted how the virus would spread worldwide nor one who said that we should lockdown immediately.
First one has a problem with a strawman proposition as well - no journalist has said that that we should have locked down in January and February.

And since WHO didn't declare a Global Emergency until the 30th January, and were still saying on 25th February it was too early to call the outbreak a pandemic, if they had, surely they would have been scaremongering..
