    I wonder if the CDC has a better handle on the NYC numbers than we do in this thread. You appear to have been off in your total death count by about 25%, for instance.

      No. The NYDOH counts 21k. 4700 didn’t get a pcr test because they died at home.

      See the first hand story of the EMS guy that George posted in early April.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        Ok then. For the record, I am betting that the CDC model will be a better predictor of future national numbers than the NYC numbers will be. I could certainly be wrong. I assume your bet is the opposite?

          CDC is using the higher NY number

          I can’t upload the screen shot because it’s too big

            No I think they’re wrong by minimum a factor of 2.

            My guess is 0.5<IFR<0.75

              I assume the fatality rate will inevitably decrease after the first wave of infections, since those who were at the bleeding edge of risk will have already died or become immune.

                CDC revised the estimate again. As a reminder, in the first post of this thread, their 'best estimate' scenario had an IFR of 0.25. Their new update, published Friday, increased it to 0.65%, smack in the middle of my range.

                  CDC revised the estimate again. As a reminder, in the first post of this thread, their 'best estimate' scenario had an IFR of 0.4. Their new update, published Friday, increased it to 0.65%, smack in the middle of my range.

                  I’ll take credit too as the Diamond Princess example I was using very early on seems to have stood the test of time.

                    You're being a bit too generous with yourself. You were touting the DP when there were only 6 or 7 fatalities and pointed out that it needed to be adjusted downward because of the age distribution on the ship. You pushed back repeatedly when I pointed out how many of the cases weren't resolved yet.

                    Now there are 13 deaths out of 712 cases, for an IFR of 1.8%.

                          Sorry but that is not age adjusted.

                            Men 59% more likely to die
