Well there’s Gupta

Who thought half the population had been infected back in March (we’re currently 8%) and that the IFR could be as low as 1 in 10000 🙈

Even I thought shield the vulnerable sounded the logical course of action back in March until you see it can’t be done successfully by letting the virus spread through the population because you can’t actually cut people off from the outside world - Sweden tried to let it spread as a strategy and got a massive death rate
