That's the problem with these assholes. No one during their lifetimes has given them a good old fashioned attitude adjustment. A good old fashioned ass kicking.

This isn't even his first wrong prediction of about Covid-19.

President Donald Trump’s top White House economic advisor, Larry Kudlow, said Monday that he no longer thinks the U.S. has the deadly coronavirus “contained,” as he said less than a month earlier.

Asked on Feb. 25 about the spread of the COVID-19 virus, which is believed to have originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan, Kudlow told CNBC that the Trump administration has kept the U.S. “pretty close to airtight.”

On Monday – as more than 35,000 cases and at least 470 deaths from the virus were confirmed in the U.S. – Kudlow said, “I’ve changed my view.”

My favorite of the search results was from Wikipedia. Turns out that a book was written using Kudlow as a example of mistakes that poor forecasters often make:

In their 2015 book Superforecasting, University of Pennsylvania political scientist Philip E. Tetlock and Dan Gardner refer to Kudlow as a "consistently wrong" pundit, and use Kudlow's long record of failed predictions to clarify common mistakes that poor forecasters make.[44][51]

But, if you said it about Cokehead Larry, I wouldn't argue.
To Your Other Question:
His incompetence in accurately forecasting economic outcomes is legendary in their utter lack of accuracy.
Despite his "credentials", he's the punchline of jokes in the economics community.
