Correct, but to be clear I didn't predict anything, as I'm not a scientist but I did repeat what a scientist had predicted and at the time I posted it, it was panning out that way. Cases had started to come down, look at any graph will show you that. Then the Kent Variant appeared and cases then sky rocketed.

Yes that was me, but again, that was not a "prediction". I just said I couldn't believe that they would open for just one day and that it would be madness if they opened for just one day.

I just underestimated the madness.

But no doubt our resident archivist will advise.
