OPINION: Given the fatigue I have seen on the faces of some of our most energetic entrepreneurs in recent weeks, I sincerely hope Professor Neil Ferguson is correct this time in suggesting we will largely be looking back on the pandemic by October.

READ MORE: The US statistician Nate Silver took a shot at Professor Ferguson not for his forecasts per se but for being “over-confident” in each one that he makes. It is hard to disagree but I know there are entrepreneurs earnestly hoping that this time his over-confidence is justified.
