Typo: “which is quite a lot higher than even the lowest estimates for COVID-19” higher->lower

Is there any evidence you can compile on long term complications in covid 19 survivors? Or on hospitalization rates from covid 19? I think the mortality stats leave out a large portion of the story

A question I am currently looking at with interest

Great read - it would be great to see something like this published in a major publication. It’s become nearly axiomatic that flu kills .1%. Would be great for this myth to be dispelled... might help increase mask compliance.

I don't think that it's incorrect to say that flu kills 0.1% exactly, just that the figures we have for COVID currently are not comparable to that figure

That's true, but the challenge is finding comparable serological estimates. We don't often do population serosurveys of seasonal influenza!

Sure, but the 40k is modeled rather than lab-confirmed. Unfortunately, we don't really do serological surveys of seasonal influenza. So if we want to compare COVID-19 fatality in a realistic way to flu, either we model excess mortality for COVID-19 or compare the sero estimates
