A professor at Imperial College, whose discredited computing model motivated Britain to close earlier this year, finally admits where the inspiration behind the draconian measure came from. Tip: It is the same place where the virus originated.
In an interview with the Times of London on Saturday, Professor Neil Ferguson said the inspiration for the blockade came from communist China. Ferguson said he was first skeptical, then surprised to see blockades implemented in Europe and then in the UK.

In 2019, around the time someone became infected with a bat, no European country pandemic plan seriously entertained the prospect of putting a country on hold.
So that made China. “I think people’s sense of what’s possible in terms of control has changed quite drastically between January and March,” says Professor Ferguson.
…
“They claimed to have flattened the curve. At first he was skeptical. I thought it was a massive cover-up by the Chinese. But as the data accumulated, it became clear that it was an effective policy. “
Then, as infections sown around the world emerged as furious furies on the map, Sage debated whether, however, it would be effective here. “It’s a one-party communist state,” we said. We thought we couldn’t get out of Europe. ” In February, one of these boils erupted just below the Alps. “It simply came to our notice then. And we realized we could. “
They saw the opportunity to seize power and took it.
Ferguson released a report in mid-March with models predicting that 2.2 million Americans and half a million Britons would die if the two countries did not implement strict stalemates. Defective modeling played a critical role in the two countries ’decision to implement blockades earlier this year.
