I don't think you even read it .. and based on the upvoats ... few of the "Anons" here have either. So much for digging and research.

Estimates were based on "if no action were taken to slow the virus and blunt its curve."

Ferguson did continue to argue that the Oxford model is too optimistic about death rates.

"Our lethality estimates remain unchanged. My evidence to Parliament referred to the deaths we assess might occur in the UK in the presence of the very intensive social distancing and other public health interventions now in place. Without those controls, our assessment remains that the UK would see the scale of deaths reported in our study (namely, up to approximately 500 thousand)."

Even the Dailywire printed a correction.

Correction: The original title of this article incorrectly suggested that Neil Ferguson stated his initial model was wrong. The article has been revised to make clear that he provided a downgraded projection given the new data and current mitigation steps.
