      These figures are... how do I put this politely? Wrong. @aaronblake seems to be comparing IFR for the flu to CFR for the ro, or something. The fact is that more people under 18 have died of the flu than #Sarscov2 this year, despite our hyper-aggressive count of #COVID deaths. https://twitter.com/AaronBlake/status/1313508679728193538 …

      Here's the actual estimates of #sarscov2 IFR (infection fatality rate, the death rate for all infections) from @cdcgov. I know, it's hard to find, it's on the CDC Website. 0-19 years: 0.00003 (0.003%) 20-49 years: 0.0002 (0.02%) 50-69 years: 0.005 (0.5%) 70+ years: 0.054 (5.4%).

      As you can see, the under 50 estimates are almost exactly the same for the flu and the ro (again, we know this includes many WITH rather than FROM ro deaths because of our counting rules). Thus the flu is likely less dangerous. The reverse is true over 50, and certainly over 60.

          I'm sure @aaronblake and @washingtonpost will correct the error by the 12th of never, if not sooner. Source:https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scenarios.html …

          CORRECTION: Meant to say "The flu is likely MORE dangerous [in people under 50]" (because COVID deaths are overcounted). Sorry.
