      The Hoover Institute really ought institute mandatory training on the difference between IFR and CFR. https://twitter.com/dockaurG/status/1284844470891143168 …

      That's also very low, even for IFR. The Geneva numbers are some of the better age-stratified estimates (very high-quality seroprevalence study, good death recording etc) and are quite a bit higher https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.06.10.20127423v1 …pic.twitter.com/fAYQAZToff

          Even the Danish IFR estimate (based on blood donor data) for <70yo is double that, at 0.08%https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.24.20075291v1 …

          As you know IFR also isn't #justonenumber. For example, we can expect places with better data and testing/good death recording etc. to systematically have better early detection, mitigation, and treatment than places that do not (like much of the US).

          In other words (as you know, and the study authors may not?), variation in #covid deaths in different studies has to do with not just data differences (our map of the world), but differences in treatment, demographics, etc. in the underlying reality.

          I don’t have a lot of fancy letters after my name and I get this. Blows my mind: bad info tweeted out. Then re-tweeted, without context, ad infinitum, confirming for many their bias as they become willing victims. The replies are depressing. Hang in there guys; some of us learn

          Replying to @GidMK @CT_Bergstrom

          I still want to know how good the testing is in these studies. If 5% are false positives and you test the entire population the false positives could overwhelm the other numbers and give terrible data. I haven’t seen any study account for this.
