prediction · status: proved wrong · last event: proved wrong (2021-10-08) · owner: John

In a script he wrote on 3 February 2020 but never filmed, John said it was very likely that within two months everyone would think they had overreacted to coronavirus. Reading it in October 2021, he said this did not hold up.

Origin known from later mentions

2020 in the title is when this began; it first appears in the videos read here in 2021, so the earlier part is known only from what is said later.
