"In 10 days your symptoms will be gone"
is probably the case for most people, one way or the other

With the proper care, attention and medicines it could be cured in just seven days. If left alone it could take a week to get better.

as a small point, the dunning kruger is not really about general intelligence, or lack thereof, but task competence
and how people incompetent at a particular task overestimate their ability to do it well. That's what the Dunning-kruger study was specifically looking at. There may be a relationship with intelligence but this was not assessed. So someone who bought photoshop but only learned how to crop his kids photos might rate themselves highly at it, because they don't understand its capabilities. But someone who does advanced things might not rate themselves the best as they know all its capabilities and can accurately assess areas where they're still lacking and tend to dismiss areas they think everyone can do easily. It doesn't mean the dad is stupid, just bad at photoshop.
There are studies that show the effect he's talking about, about an inverse relationship between subject knowledge, personal knowledge self-assessment, and certainty, but these aren't demonstrating the Dunning Kruger effect. It's one of those things that's commonly misapplied, especially in internet arguments, with unwitting irony
