They literally cannot guess when modelling. Modelling requires the exact opposite of guessing.

They can only use a data set, that data set can give a vary of answers if used together in different ways, but they cannot use any of their expertise or experience or even common sense to change the outcomes the data provides otherwise the model cannot be published because the outcomes have been “tampered with”.

They way people moaning about the modelling is bizarre. They might not even advise what the models suggest could be required.

lol the literal meaning of a model is a guess you clown.

I hope all you supporters of SAGE are happy with the impending financial doom that's approaching. Part of this is the cost of not coming out of lockdown 8 months ago when we could have done if it wasn't for SAGE advising the government not to open things up. Now it's payback time, enjoy.

We haven't been in lockdown for the last eight months, you clown.

19 July 2021 was exactly 7 months ago which was when all restrictions were lifted. Full lockdown was lifted 11 months ago and remaining restrictions were gradually lifted over the following 4 months. What lockdown are you talking about? The imaginary one that the freedom protestors are complaining about?

I’m sure there are folk who’ve locked themselves in the attic for the last 12 months and have no idea that life has been pretty much normal for most of us.

But. They. Didn’t.

They modelled all scenarios.

Whoever made the decisions on their results are the ones whose houses you need to camp outside with pitchforks.

Their best case model for omicron was for between 3000 to 10000 hospitalizations in England alone daily. The other two scenarios they did for omicron resulted in much higher numbers. We actually reached a peak of just over 2000 admissions. How can you say they modelled all scenarios, when the actual data falls well below their best case?

The LHTSE most optimistic model was just over 2000 admissions and that was at the time when they were still making an assumption that Omicron would be as severe as Delta so that’s just factually wrong. If you consider the forecast modelling they considered from Denmark too that has been discussed already, that was pretty bang on.

They don’t model all scenarios for projections though, that’s wrong to suggest that too. They model scenarios to try and show where further intervention may be required, there’s not much point in ones that don’t. It did what it needed to with Omicron in terms of speeding up the booster vaccine rollout (without that, then the admissions would have been higher than their best case scenario) and also because we learned very quickly that omicron was less severe than delta and that behaviours had significantly changed anyway (which I do think they need to factor more in, but they’ve said the same too), we knew that the actual would be lower fairly quickly in the cycle, it never hit the trigger points.

That’s not lockdown unless I’m missing something.
