Let's take it as read that 100k deaths to date is a lot, that The Daily Moan is a bit sensationalist, and that the name Professor Lockdown is a bit silly.
But...
With the rollout of the vaccine and the continued lockdown, isn't the suggestion of another 130k deaths a little bit fanciful?
This is a genuine question - unlike many on AB, I'm not an expert - far from it - but I do remember the "scenarios" that Whitty and the other one discussed in the Autumn that never even came close to being realised. They were scenarios, pretty bloody bleak scenarios, but nonetheless they shaped policy. Another scenario, of course, was that their numbers and graphs were way wide of the mark, which proved to be the case.
