This is how corrupt politicians and scientists say OOPS and cover their asses after forcing a pointless lockdown down your throat: Blame it on a single line of code that plotted the graphs

 

TLDR; This is their pathetic excuse:

 

This error resulted from a single line in the code used to plot a graph, meaning that it showed the number of hospitalisations rather than the number of ICU bed admissions.

 

As a result, New South Wales hospitals were predicted to be hit with 12,000 ICU patients rather than the 3,000 admissions the modelling had meant to show.

 

Another word the dog ate their fucking homework.

 

Fuck these people.

 

Was Australia's crippling lockdown based on a MONUMENTAL stuff-up? How a critical error used to justify shutting down the economy and keeping millions of people at home went unnoticed - until now

Australia's decision to lockdown at start of crisis based on miscalculated figures

 

Research estimated daily ICU demand of 35,000 beds in uncontrolled outbreak

 

But data confused ICU admissions with patients needing to be taken to hospital

 

Then Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy said at time data was 'horrendous'

 

Data used to guide government decision to shut down large parts of economy

 

DOHERTY INSTITUTE'S STATEMENT ON COVID-19 ICU DATA ERROR

 

An error in the graphical representations of modelling conducted by the Doherty Institute utilised by the Commonwealth Government in the public health response to COVID-19 was noticed in June,' University of Melbourne professor and Director of Doherty Epidemiology Jodie McVernon said.

 

The conclusions of the model regarding response strategies needed to ensure ICU capacity requirements were not exceeded, were accurate and didn’t affect its implications for policy.

 

'This error resulted from a single line in the code used to plot a graph, meaning that it showed the number of hospitalisations rather than the number of ICU bed admissions.'

 

'We informed the Commonwealth Government at the time this error was realised having cross-checked and confirmed that it only referred to two visual outputs.

 

'A more detailed description of the modelling with the corrected graphical representations was submitted for peer review to the Emerging Infectious Diseases journal and was accepted for publication on August 30 2020.

 

Australia was plunged into strict lockdown at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic based on incorrect figures and a massive over-estimation of how many patients would require ICU treatment.

 

Research by The Peter Doherty Institute had estimated a peak daily demand of 35,000 intensive care beds would be required in the scenario of an uncontrolled outbreak in Australia.

 

But the modelling had confused ICU admissions with the number of people who would need to be taken to hospital during the pandemic.

 

As a result, New South Wales hospitals were predicted to be hit with 12,000 ICU patients rather than the 3,000 admissions the modelling had meant to show.

 

The data was used by the federal government to justify nationwide business shutdowns, border closures and social distancing restrictions when the virus took hold in Australia in March.

 

Then-Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy said at the time the figures forecast an 'horrendous scenario' with a 'daily demand for new intensive care beds of 35,000-plus'.

 

He said such a demand would be 'completely beyond the realm of any country to create'.

 

The Doherty Institute's Professor Jodie McVernon said the modelling mistake - which was published in April - was noticed in June and the government was notified, The Daily Telegraph reported.

 

Disease modelling experts at James Cook University in Queensland noticed the error when they discovered a large discrepancy in predicted ICU admissions between different parts of Australia.

 

James Cook University infectious diseases physician Emma McBryde claimed her researchers had told the Doherty Institute of the mistake and the organisation said the error would be corrected.

 

But she claimed no revision had been made three months later.

 

'Leaving something inaccurate uncorrected on the public record is pretty close to research misconduct,' she said.

 

'I strongly believe we lock down too hard.'

 

The revelation comes as Australia's hopes for a coronavirus vaccine were put under threat after trials in the UK were paused over major safety concerns.

 

Late-stage studies of AstraZenec's vaccine candidate are on hold after a patient became seriously ill on Tuesday.

A Judge Nullifying Election Law 60 Days Out is Cheating

 

"Georgia law O.C.G.A. 21-2-386 lays out the rules for validation of absentee ballots received by mail, and the cancellation of rejected ballots…

…Nowhere in the Code Section is checking a postmark mentioned. Georgia Secretary of State administrative rules for the State Election Board, which governs how counties conduct elections, Subject 183-1-14 on Absentee Voting does not mention checking postmarks.

 

But Judge Ross ordered that ballots received after 7 p.m. on Election Day, but postmarked by Election Day, must be counted. She did this just a few months before the election, when ballot materials have already been prepared, and poll workers, supervisors, and county boards of election have been trained in procedures."
