      Not sure if you've seen the IFR meta-study. They came up with a simple IFR formula based on many IFR studies...it's the black line on this graph and the source is shown on the graph. All consistent with your great work. Thxpic.twitter.com/Bkk8CwsdyC

      Marc has 13 studies for COVID though. Why didn’t they use the extra studies? Curious how they are different.

      Our meta-regression (which is included on Marc's graph) did include all of the studies that he's plotted as well except for 1 new study (I'd have to look it up, but I don't recognize the last reference there offhand) and one other meta-study (O'Driscoll et al)

          Yes, excellent & best source for IFR’s by age. Don’t need to include other data points. Message pretty much the same. COVID IFR >> flu IFR
