I'm quite confused at people who persist in arguing that #COVID19 has an infection fatality rate similar to that of influenza (~0.1-0.2%)
Currently, 14,800 people in New York have died
That's 0.18% OF THE ENTIRE CITY
Unless 100% are infected, it's not as low as 0.1-0.2%

I'm doubting the 0.18% This says 0.108% https://www.statista.com/statistics/1109867/coronavirus-death-rates-by-age-new-york-city/ …

I'm using the John Hopkins Uni numbers - 14877 dead in a city of 8.4million gives a death rate of 0.178%
