Of course the experts got it wrong. Hence the name "novel" coronavirus. D'oh!

But unlike some folks, the experts updated information as they continued - and will continue - to learn more about how the virus spreads, how it reacts once it begins to reproduce in the body, how it affects the body's organs and functions, and how the infection rate can be slowed. That's what experts do - they continue to learn more, and adapt accordingly.

I don't know who these bozos are in the video, either, but they are not experts, unless you consider them experts on spreading misinformation via inflammatory and misleading YouTube videos.

Well, the guy in the video is the one who got the predictions way off, suggested quarantine, and broke the quarantine to go bang a married chick

Many youtubers have proven to be more accurate in their coverage of covid-19 than many of these "experts" or mainstream news channels. Same thing happened in the 2016 election. Quite a few youtubers made more accurate predictions and had better coverage than most of the major media.

Getting things wrong is one of the beautiful aspects of science, as you may then strive further into the unexplored frontier. We shouldn't be afraid of mistakes caused by lack of knowledge, because that's how you learn. Yes, sadly, people have died, but others may survive because of their loss.

Yeah, youtubers guessed both sides of the election - so surely some of them got it right. Elections are not science.


Viruses are. You can't "guess" on that responsibly - because if you're right - you're right - but if you're wrong - YOU are DIRECTLY responsible for killing someone, however far removed it is from your words. You. Did it. By being wrong.


Being wrong about the election? ZERO blowback. Nothing. Lots of folks were wrong. Being wrong now? Fatal.


See the difference? That's why people who are actually NOT experts have no business bashing the actual experts right now. It's science - not politics. It's amusing that anyone thinks the virus itself has political leanings.


"Many youtubers have proven to be more accurate in their coverage of covid-19" - I would love to see a single example of this.
