This is the guy who gave us the models that predicted 500k deaths in GB and 2.2 million deaths in the US which proved to be egregiously wrong. It is his information and advocacy that resulted in both countries being shut down.
Now it turns out that HE DOESN’T BELIEVE IN THE NEED FOR LOCKDOWN HIMSELF and it turns out that he’s closer to the CC movement than Joe Biden is to a young page. His trysts occurred on multiple occasions, the first of which was on a day when he gave a public press conference on the importance of the general public maintaining their lock down. In fact, he is nicknamed Dr Lockdown in GB.
His links to the radical left Climate Change contingent is quite concerning seeing as their goals appear to have been achieved with these terribly inaccurate models. Air travel is decreased by 95% and car use has decreased similarly.
It was already time to end the lockdown after we flattened the curve - that was all the Left said at the start. But now, they want more, even after achieving their goal. They want no deaths at the expense of the entire economy, and they have no endpoint other than the election (though they may try to get greedy for a full changeover to socialism).
I have said previously that I cannot remember an estimate being so far off and that an investigation was in order after this is done. Social distancing (especially as horrifically as we actually can do it) cannot account for the huge overestimate of deaths.
One has to seriously entertain the possibility that the estimates were intentionally bogus in order to achieve the goals of the radical CC people, and he needs to be investigated now.
Regardless of the results, we need to reopen now.

Perhaps he was too busy getting his wick wet to do more complex modeling...

Is she a hot “radical CC activist”?
Seems like we need to know this before we can pass judgment.

I mean, I'm as much a dirty old man as anyone, but let's not jump to conclusions here.

I suppose it’s political somehow.
This Professor Lockdown and his mistress leaving home to engage in a little social closeness. Rules for others, but not for us, say the Elite.
Mayor of Chicago getting haircut when people are being arrested for that...because she goes on TV. Rules for others, but not for us, say the Elite.
Chris Cuomo pretending to be in quarantine on TV when he confirmed online that he had an altercation with a bicyclist at his new home which is being built. Rules for others, but not for us, say the Elite.
DeBlasio going to the gym after telling people not to go to the gym. Rules for others, but not for us, say the Elite.
Obama on the golf course (although he's admittedly not in office) when people are supposed to be staying home. Rules for others, but not for us, say the Elite.
Many other examples.

...and had to resign.
they wish to have control over the people they see as unable to take care of themselves with large numbers of rules and restrictions. it is assumed by them that they they are exempt however. it is the polar opposite of what America stands for and is likely one of the nig reasons the Left hates the country as founded and wishes to transform it.

sure.
face of Chicago, so she is an exception. WTF. If you looks bad, we all understand you because we all look not good due to difficulties and perhaps we even appreciate you being just like one of us following the rule.

1) Ferguson's estimates were hugely off - so much so that they drew attention (and you may also remember me posting about it long before this news came out about him) - and this resulted in vast change for our society.
2) He was diddling with a very radical, Far Left Climate Change activist which not only puts him in a position where he might want to please her, but also indicates his politics. It brings up the potential for a motive for vast change
3) a)The results of his faulty work have had exactly the results that his Climate Change girlfriend would want - 95% less air travel, massive auto use reduction, and restriction of many freedoms required to achieve radical CC folks goals.
b) Also, the US was considered a major roadblock to the CC goals with Trump, and while other countries will simply phase back, our system doesn't allow for that easily given the Left's ability to block the Right. This has crippled us and
hurt Trump's major, indisputable success - the economy and low unemployment numbers in all groups with better wages which therefore helps to remove the CC Left's roadblocks to a Climate Change agreement.
4) Ferguson wasn't following his own guidelines - not once, but AT LEAST twice. If he were sincere about his concerns he would not have done this. If he is not sincere, then why would he be such a vocal advocate of shut down?....which
goes back to the first 3 points.
