@Klaus said in IFR 0.4% ?:
Why should the IFR depend on hugging or kissing or anything like that?
These things influence transmission, but I don't see why they should influence fatality.
I think there are various potential factors. Nobody knows, I guess, the importance of these factors:
maybe the way the data was collected was wrong - there are doubts about how representative they are a somewhat decent health system with well-educated doctors and enough ICU places might be a factor some people claim that we test more and earlier than others; also, people aren't concerned about costs and will go to the doctor early. Together, this might contribute to often catching the disease in its early form when there are more medical options probably a dozen more potential factors
Note that he didn't question the beer connection at all. He must agree.
