Getting Covid wrong

From my spreadsheet kept since the outset
I’ve got lots of things wrong about Covid. A year ago we thought it would be something like SARS in 2002, which we’d also experienced. Wrong. Then it might have been over when the curve flattened, above. Wrong again. And now a new strain. I’m making no more assumptions. I don’t know where it’s headed. Wouldn’t even be surprised if the vaccines don’t turn out quite the Covid killers were all hoping for.

China aside, most countries, handling the virus in their own ways, are making mistakes too.
