He only finds and presents the data.  The fact he is not in this specific scientific field is irrelevant.

Yeah struggling to see why his mouth carries weight then. 
 

From his own website it says 

 

Ivor Cummins BE(Chem) CEng MIEI PMP completed a Biochemical Engineering degree in 1990. He has since spent 30 years in corporate technical leadership positions. His career specialty has been leading large worldwide teams in complex problem-solving activity’s. 


Sounds like a bullshitter, not qualified to comment on data analysis or infectious diseases.

If only people had just followed the advice, rather then try to find ways to justify why it didn't apply to them / disbelieve it was actually a thing / selfishly carry on because 'I'm alright Jack' / believe random idiots with absolutely no idea what they're talking about on YouTube.

We keep hearing the phrases 'cases doubling every so-many days' and 'exponential growth' in the same sentence. If I'm not mistaken, as case numbers are discrete values and the rate of increase is doubling at a set rate, what we have is a geometric sequence, not exponential growth!

The BBC are doing their level best to roll out all of the doom merchants.  Giving airtime to the guy Ferguson who predicted 250 000 UK deaths based on 3 flights out of Wuhan. 

Didn't he break the original lockdown?

Government delaying the announcement twice. They're obviously still discussing what to do. Imo when announcing you'll be holding a press conference that means everything is signed and put in place, not that you're still nowhere near finalising things. Doesn't fill me with any confidence in the decisions. Everything done one the fly, thats the Johnson way.

I'd be willing to bet wed still be in pretty much the same situation. Id also bet that cases will still rise in spite of whats about to happen. It's a microscopic airborne virus in a country of 60m people with the weather turning. If you're not in full lockdown then cases are gonna continually rise.
