"This infection is very common"
This is blatantly wrong - even using the highest estimates from his own research, COVID-19 had only infected 4% of people when the study was done
Hard to keep arguing that these are simple "mistakes" @venkmurthyhttps://twitter.com/CNN/status/1256579248342564865 …
Not number of infections - infection fatality rate. His study estimates this at ~0.1%, which is much lower than the 0.5-1% that you see in other studies

ok, I see what you’re saying. The NYC study was the outlier as far as IFR - NYC IFR was 2-3 times higher than the IFR level revealed by the other studies.
