ALL OF THE CORONAVIRUS MODELS WERE WRONG
Instead of dividing us even more deeply as a nation, this pandemic should be bringing us together.

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.
In fact, a projection done by researchers at the Imperial College of London warned that 40 million people could die from COVID-19 this year alone.
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.
