“200 thousand cases a day”: Wrong. The British government adviser takes yet another topic
Professor Neil Ferguson, the controversial epidemiologist who predicted there would be up to 200,000 cases of COVID per day in the UK if restrictions were lifted, is facing tough attacks after infections continued to decline for the sixth consecutive day. .
The day before the so-called 'freedom day' in England, where most of the mask obligations and restrictions on social distancing were lifted, the BBC's Andrew Marr asked Ferguson where the country was heading.
“It's very hard to say for sure, but I think 100,000 cases a day are almost inevitable,” Ferguson said, adding, “The real question is, can we double or more? We could reach 200,000 cases a day ”.

The professor continued to warn of "serious inconvenience" for the NHS and the interruption of surgical interventions due to this expected wave of covid patients that never took place.
Ferguson is once again disproved by statistics, which today showed that there were 24,950 new coronavirus cases, the sixth consecutive daily decline.
The problem once again raises the question; Why does the government continue to follow the advice given by supporters of the tight lock down, who have repeatedly proven that they are blatantly wrong?
Let us not forget that it was Ferguson who infamously warned that half a million Brits would die without a draconian blockade, despite the fact that countries like Sweden that did not enforce the blockade have had similar waves and infection rates.
Not only has Ferguson repeatedly proven himself to be totally untrustworthy (having already dishonored himself during the 2001 foot-and-mouth outbreak), but he even betrayed his own claims by making his mistress go back and forth from London despite the bans. We preach well and scratch badly.
