Absolutely. The early projections were absurd, and even then the media generally reported the high end of it.



There is going to be a ton of this, even though most of those projections were probably based on lack of/bad data rather than anything else.

The average dude who "knew" it wouldn't be that bad will be vindicated, his hunch was right.

Of course, a ton of those dudes predicted flu-results, or a thousand deaths, etc., but they'll never mention those predictions.

I bookmarked ~100 posts from people. Might have a big thread with screenshots.

"Flu results" is the most accurate prediction as of now.

Umm, 60k deaths, which are now the projections, is absolutely flu like results

well any intelligent person that wants to be right would know, bad data isn't data. Therefore it wasn't just, oh shucks we had bad data.
