Tested (based on the paper he cites!) the number missed would vary between ~0-10%, so a blanket 20% reduction is pretty obviously wrong Anyway no worries, important to know if I made any mistakes
Also interesting to note that since I published this thread a number of other errors have come up - he gets the population of Ada county wrong, uses the wrong IFR from Gangelt, and some of the multiplication rounded down which is less than ideal
Would it be possible for your get the data to do an age dependent IFR study. I think that would be much more useful to the public, because the IFR is much higher for people over 60 and much lower for people under 40. it would be useful to see how much obesity affects the IFR to
We tried, but there are few/no papers stratifying IFR by age at the moment. The impact of obesity is quite minor based on most evidence btw, the 17.4 million person UK study found that being a man was riskier than having a BMI>30
