A further 331 deaths were announced in England on Wednesday, along with 21 more in Wales and another 14 in Northern Ireland.

Here’s how to help people impacted by Covid-19, Martin Robinson, Chief Reporter For Mailonline, Exclusive: Government scientist Neil Ferguson resigns after breaking lockdown rules to meet his married lover. In 2002, Prof Ferguson published a report on the BSE crisis, years after the peak of the episode.He speculated that BSE in cows and sheep could cause up to 150,000 human deaths – to date fewer than 200 have died. Government scientist Neil Ferguson resigns as he breaches coronavirus lockdown rules to visit lover Prof Ferguson told the Telegraph: "I accept I made an … It risks undermining the Government's lockdown message'. If you just achieve 80 per cent shielding - and 80 per cent reduction in infection risk in those groups - we still project that you would get more than 100,000 deaths this year from that kind of strategy. Professor Neil Ferguson, the scientist whose research helped usher in the lockdown, has resigned from his role as a key Government adviser after admitting that he had undermined social distancing rules by meeting his lover at his home. The centre's mathematical predictions advise governments and the World Health Organization on outbreaks from Ebola in West Africa to the current pandemic. lashed out at 'predatory' hackers targeting organisations involved in the fight against coronavirus, saying criminals and 'hostile states' were trying to take advantage of the crisis for their own 'malicious ends'.

Had the Government stuck with their strategy of trying to 'mitigate' the spread – allowing it to continue but attempting to slow it down – with limited measures such as home isolation for those with symptoms this number would be roughly halved to 260,000. However, they have ruled out making any return compulsory. Professor Ferguson's excuse is he thought he was immune from COVID-19 after having it - despite there being zero scientific proof people who've had it actually get immunity.

Most businesses reckon they need just three weeks' notice to restart work. For an intelligent man, I find that very hard to believe. Security Minister James Brokenshire said Prof Ferguson had 'made the right decision' in resigning from Sage. 'Instead of talking about hundreds of thousands of deaths, there still will be a significant health impact that we'll be talking about,' Professor Ferguson said. The shamed scientist, nicknamed 'Professor Lockdown' because he convinced Boris Johnson to order millions to stay at home, has sensationally quit his Government role on the influential SAGE committee - but his employer Imperial College London is standing by him. It was that group's work, in early January, that alerted the world to the threat of coronavirus. What a shameful shambles. In mid-March, the maths showed the UK needed to change course or a quarter of a million people would die in a "catastrophic epidemic". He said: 'We will take a phased approach in terms of reopening schools and we will always aim to give schools, parents and, of course, critically importantly, children the maximum notice in terms of when this is going to happen.'. "I accept I made an error of judgement and took the wrong course of action," he said. Psychologist Emma Kenny told GMB: 'I'm not surprised he has broken his own rules because he consistently got the figures wrong and has given us a completely false representation of what we are facing'. Scotland Yard said Prof Ferguson's behaviour was "plainly disappointing" but officers "do not intend to take any further action". Other points in the Imperial College report, titled Impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to reduce COVID19 mortality and healthcare demand, included: In other developments in the UK's coronavirus battle today: That number is 42 per cent higher than the count announced by the Department of Health at the time, suggesting the current total could be higher than 40,000 - this would mean COVID-19 has killed more Britons in eight weeks than died over seven months during the Blitz bombings in World War Two.

Prof Ferguson said on March 18 that he had the fever and cough symptoms of Covid-19 and that there was a small risk he had infected others. Prof Ferguson is thought to have met Ms Staat's husband and they share an interest in data science, according to a friend. However, he said the data was not yet available to draw conclusions on international comparisons.
