The original publication omitted some details and a citation from a sentence in Section 2.2 [1].
The original sentence:
Many of those who have died from COVID-19 would have died within the next year – up to half of them, according to Professor Neil Ferguson, a government adviser on SAGE. Despite the public outrage, this is morally relevant.
The sentence should instead read:
Many of those who have died from COVID-19 would have died within the next year – up to half of them, suggested Professor Neil Ferguson, a government adviser on SAGE speaking to the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee early in the pandemic, on 25 March 2020 [2]. Despite the public outrage, this is morally relevant.
The author has no competing interests to declare.
