CDC revises fatality rate
-
I get the model can’t conform to every conceivable subset of data but your biggest outbreak by far isn’t just another subset of data.
If the model is going to have any useful predictive power it can’t miss the big important cases.

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.

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

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.
