I take no great pleasure in noting this, but for future reference, especially by bar-stool blowhards, it’s time to call Robert Epstein to account for rank amateurism. I recently noted<\/a> that he predicted the max death count in the United States would not exceed 5,000, and world-wide deaths at 50,000 with less than 1 million infections total.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

World wide infections are 50% over Epstein’s predictions, and that’s if we’re generous in interpreting his words. Worldwide deaths have exceeded his predictions by nearly 100% His prediction for the American death count has been exceeded by New York City alone, and based on recent counts, it’s probably off by 200%.<\/p>\n

And we’re not near the end of this challenge. Will Epstein try to defend his effort, or will he admit he was outside of his zone of expertise?<\/p>\n

Fortunately, based on the Administration’s actions, I think they discarded Epstein’s predictions early on, and for that we can be thankful.<\/p>\n

So what’s left to do? To observe Epstein’s failure as an amateur, and remember it. The experts are often wrong as well – this is a tough, knotty problem, after all – but at least they know the general parameters, and will use this experience for the next time.<\/p>\n

And remember the Administration is mostly composed of amateurs. Do we really want them running things?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
