Ferguson Modelling Has Been Shown to be Flawed - Pat Byrne CityJet CEO

How will a pandemic be defined in the future? Are we looking at such a low threshold that we could go back into this scenario all over again. Its a big problem, as we have ad hoc guidelines since March 2020. We should have used the original WHO pandemic guidelines from before 2008. Sweden essentially followed these guidelines, and had a negligible 0.3% higher death rate than normal.

The definition of a pandemic before 2008 was based on extent and severity of sickness, not prevalence of a disease. That was changed in 2009.

"I was terrified this was going to create a precedent that would be used in the future for Covid, for other viruses, for climate change, for anything. Because that's what happens with laws -- they create their own precedent."

Tracy O'Malory, Barrister
