Things I got wrong

 Here are some of the things I predicted or asked for on this blog and I was wrong about

1. I thought Covid combined with flu this year would be really bad. It turns out everyone is so careful about covid that there is very little flu. I still think the flu shot should be free for all though in normal years.

Ireland should make the Flu Vaccine Free for All 


2. I was suspicious Manna drone delivery did not have realistic demonstration videos. But now they do

3. I thought in 2011 we would have self driving cars by now

How much would a driverless taxi cost?

4. I thought DIY ventilators would help in a pandemic (in 2006). But stopping disease spread is actually the important thing

There are loads more I got wrong but those ones jump out at me now.
