o He specifically recommended, “For countries able to achieve it, this leaves suppression as the
preferred policy option”; and
o He further states, “We show that in the UK and US context, suppression will minimally require
[emphasis added] a combination of social distancing of the entire population, home isolation of
cases and household quarantine of their family members. This may need to be supplemented by
school and university closures”; and
o He concludes, specific to suppression measures, “The major challenge of suppression is that this
type of intensive intervention package – or something equivalently effective at reducing
transmission – will need to be maintained until a vaccine becomes available (potentially 18
months or more).” [emphasis added]
• On or about 03/26/2020 Ferguson clarified his study to UK deaths, citing the 500,000 UK
deaths would be if the original ‘herd immunity’ and not his suppression recommendations
were implemented. – “I think it would be helpful if I cleared up some confusion that has
emerged in recent days. Some have interpreted my evidence to a UK parliamentary
committee as indicating we have substantially revised our assessments of the potential
16
mortality impact of COVID-19.”
o In his revision the UK deaths were revised to well under 20,000 (UK is 6,236 as of this letter).
The UK and US, and every state, relied on this data to declare states of emergency and
implement emergency executive orders. He did not project US deaths – so, just playing with the
96% estimate drop in the UK the US would be 80,000 – and we will not be seeing close to this
number [see above]. As of 03/26/2020, the US had 68,707 reported cases (not active, not all
confirmed – not including recovered) and 1,044 deaths. As of the date of this letter the US cases
are 377,499 and deaths are 11,781. Due to the required manner of CDC death certification
codifying, it is not reported if these are direct virus caused or indirect virus contributory (both
require a direct COVID-19 cause classification).
• The same date, 03/26/2020, was reported, “U.S. Jobless Claims Skyrocket to Unprecedented
3.3 Million” and “The previous record of 695,000 claims in Oct 1982, up from 281,000 earlier
this month.” – and Colorado’s Department of Labor reported multiple system crashes due to
unemployment application overload.
• The White House, which has relied on the Ferguson reports, has sent mixed information to
the public. The White House response coordinator for the coronavirus task force said
Thursday that extreme predictions about the pandemic don't line up with the incoming
data, while also pushing back against unfounded rumors that could alarm the public. Dr.
Deborah Birx said 19 of all 50 states with confirmed cases have low levels of the outbreak.
“When people start talking about 20 percent of a population being infected, it’s very scary.
But we don’t have data that matches that based on the [actual] experience.”

• On 03/26/2020 CNN published a report entitled, “Why comparing coronavirus outbreaks in
different countries can be misleading -- and even dangerous” –

o The report states, and asks, “Why is the death rate so low in Germany? How come the UK has
comparatively fewer cases than elsewhere? And what's going on in Russia?” and “But what if the
