The Imperial College of London projected that more than 500,000 people in Great Britain would die if no protective measures were put in place. The picture in the United States was even bleaker: 2.2 million people could die if the country didn’t close.
Even with ambitious measures to mitigate the spread of the virus, the Imperial College model predicted that 1.1 million people in the United States and 260,000 people in Great Britain would die.(It was at this time MJ Hawkeye stated this is a crock of crap----and I was correct).
"So, we had new information coming out from a model, and what had the biggest impact in the model is social distancing, small groups, not going in public in large groups."
That model was from the Imperial College and its chief researcher Neil Ferguson. It is hard to stress enough just how influential it was in both the U.S. and U.K., where it turned lockdown skeptics like Prime Minister Johnson and President Trump into believers overnight.
And almost overnight, states across America began implementing total shutdowns of restaurants, bars, retail stores, and every business they deemed “non-essential.”(Except abortions)
Unfortunately, the Imperial College model on which they all relied was staggeringly, disastrously wrong.(Because people are sheeples and government officials needed a big CYA).
