UK epidemiologist Neil Ferguson who predicted that 500,000 people in the UK would die from COVID-19, drastically reduced his estimate to 20,000 or less — a 25-fold reduction or more—according to an article on the DailyWire.com.

He also predicted that 2.2 million people in the US would die from COVID-19, which also would be a dramatical overestimate.
