This tiresome subject is getting very annoying.

someone will be along soon to point out the misspelling of the seer

It was entirely predictable, scientists have known a pandemic was overdue, and it was a question of when it would come, not if.
Numerous fictional pieces have been written and filmed about when the pandemic would strike.
Cummings has published a science blog for several years, and last year, he wrote about a deadly flu like virus emerging.

I predict that douglas will opt to misspell Nostradamus.

[douglas9401]

I did capitalise the d in the middle but Answerbank can't cope with that level of input.

You're not en-titled.

Seering comment, OG. :-)

[aelmpvw]

think most abers would spot the pun without dom being in parenthesis

[douglas9401]

Think you're being very generous, ael. :-)

//Cummings has published a science blog for several years, and last year, he wrote about a deadly flu like virus emerging. //

The main point of the BBC story is that Cummings edited that old blog to make it look like a better prediction than it actually was on the 14th April 2020 which was the day he returned to work.
