  1. All predator/prey and infection graphs follow a logistic curve, that initially looks like an exponential curve but then plateaus. That's why we teach students as young as Y11 about the danger of extrapolating curves. Once you start extrapolating you can design a function to make a curve do whatever you want it to. The SAGE scaremongers should have heeded the South African doctors' assessment about Omicron being EXTREMELY MILD instead of running round like headless chickens. Their unjustified panicking has destroyed a lot more businesses that would otherwise have recovered.
