Could @nataliexdean debrief this? Because isn’t the numbers he is referring to simply the model estimates (from European studies) of best case scenario and not the actual estimates?
Or am I too tired to read everything correctly? :(https://twitter.com/GovRonDeSantis/status/1308824541104398337 …

Similarly, having a single age group from 20-49 makes the rate seem minuscule, but the IFR differs vastly between a 20 yo (~0.006%) and 49 yo (~0.2%)

I am really wondering why EVERYONE DOESN’T JUST AGREE TO USE DECADES DAMMIT. Although to be honest 5 year bands below age 20 would be kinda useful in addition.

I will never understand why in the age of readily available flexible functions like cubic splines and fractional polynomials people are still making ridiculously arbitrary bins.

It's hard not to be cynical and think they selected the age bands for exactly that purpose.

Please, be cynical, as it allows people like DeSantis to "prove" we can open everything with relative immunity, and gives credence to the argument that young people are unaffected and 99.xx percent of people are unaffected.
