NSW has recorded 97 new COVID-19 cases in the community overnight, but we already fkn knew this would happen, because a mysterious TikTok user has been accurately predicting the daily case numbers far before they’re announced by NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian.
TikTok user @jonbernardk (Jon-Bernard Kairouz), an actor and “comedian”, has been making videos in which he predicts upcoming COVID-19 case numbers.
The thing is, he has been accurate three times in a row now, and I would like to know how the fuck he does it. Today’s case numbers were accurately predicted in a TikTok that came out 13 hours before Gladys even made an appearance. Who does he know? Who is this man?
During today’s press conference, Berejiklian confirmed that there were 97 new COVID-19 cases in NSW. Up to 51 of these cases may have been infectious in the community. So yeah, Kairouz was accurate once again.
Here’s the TikTok vid.

And here are today’s case numbers:

I have one million questions.
He accurately predicted yesterday’s case numbers (65) and the day before’s (97). This makes three for three now.
Gladys was even asked about these accurate TikTok predictions in today’s presser, and this was her response to the matter:
“All we can do is focus on the job at hand and I know at the moment a lot of people have or alleged to have various bits of unmet information and advice,” she said.
“What is important for us as a team, team New South Wales, is to focus on what is necessary and that is to lead our state during the most challenging of times.”
Not the most exciting answer, but there you have it.
In an interview with Nova’s Fitzy & Wippa, Kairouz was asked about who he is and how he knows all of these facts beforehand. This was his answer:
“To be honest I work at a college as a janitor and sometimes I’ll see an equation on a whiteboard and I can just finish it. I feel like I’m smarter than most of the kids there!” he told the duo.
This, friends, is the plot of the movie Good Will Hunting.
Meanwhile, in an interview with journalist Josh Butler, Kairouz was asked the same question, but this time his response was a reference to an episode of The Simpsons.
“When I was younger I had a crayon lodged in my brain, once I had that removed, my IQ went up 50 points and it allows me to make these calculations,” he told Butler.
I asked Jon-Bernard Kairouz (the comedian who accurately picked NSW’s COVID numbers the last 2 days in a row) how he’s doing it, whether he knows someone in NSW Health who’s sharing numbers with him early etc
His response was a Simpsons reference:

Sir, I am going to need you to spill the actual facts because this is getting fkn crazy.
WHO DO YOU KNOW.
