I forgot what you said your background/education was.... are you aware of the concept of the number of deaths doubling every 5 days? Even if your math skill is zero, take this chart, put it on a BIG sheet of paper and project the nearly straight red line for the UK plus the green line for the US out to January 2021, add them together and tell me what it predicts. Or even simpler, How far into the future to reach the 100,000 line? How far to reach the 1,000,000 line? I don't want to be rude, but if anyone reading is unable to do this exercise in their head using their fingers and a computer screen... they really are not qualified to have an opinion, or at least be taken seriously. Hopefully you can pass this simple test.
