How is it possible that all of the coronavirus models could have been so completely and utterly wrong about what was going to happen?  
Very early in this pandemic, some models that were predicting millions of deaths caused quite a bit of panic all over the globe.

Obviously that estimate was dead wrong, and it has become quite clear that this pandemic is not an “end of the world” scenario.
But on the other extreme, there have been a lot of models that were forecasting a relatively low death toll, and those models have been proven to be completely wrong as well.
