Thanks HB.
Seen it. The vast majority of the comments are very critical.
It seems like the public are beginning to understand epidemiology better than he does.
How many times did he say 'until there's a vaccine'
From his body language, it looks to me like he knows he is defending the indefensible.

Back in 2005 he predicted 200 million deaths from bird flu:-

"Around 40 million people died in 1918 Spanish flu outbreak," said Prof Ferguson. "There are six times more people on the planet now so you could scale it up to around 200 million people probably."

A Department of Health contingency plan states anywhere that there could be between 21,500 and 709,000 deaths in Britain.

Last week, veterinary and medical chiefs from the European Union held talks aimed at drawing up an EU-wide action plan to prevent the spread of bird flu. Experts say spotting any outbreak immediately and treating local people with anti-viral drugs and vaccines will be the key to containing any outbreak.

Rich countries are stockpiling anti-viral supplies. Britain announced in March that it was spending £200m on treatments for up to 14 million people. In July the government also said it would buy 2m doses of vaccine for key workers, though it will take around six months for it to arrive.

As it turns out, worldwide deaths numbered a few hundred..
