        ..."90% of the variation in population IFR across geographical locations reflects differences in the age composition". Getting across 1. the difference b/w cfr and ifr, & 2. variation in ifr due to age composition, is crucial to have an informed public.

        When the data becomes available, can you do this again please for 'vulnerable groups'?

        Congrats! Does it mean that generally you discourage the use of a non age-stratified IFR as misleading?

        Congratulations. Reading through it briefly, it appears to state similar info as Dr. Ioannidis said in the peer reviewed article below. But perhaps in more detail? Or do you feel that it comes to different conclusions? https://www.who.int/bulletin/online_first/BLT.20.265892.pdf …

        Re: "similar info as Dr. Ioannidis said in the peer reviewed article below" It says it's dissimilar. Ioannidis chose non-representative studies that over-estimate general population seroprevalence. So he under-estimates IFR. https://twitter.com/GidMK/status/1316511734115385344 … https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.23.20160895v7 …pic.twitter.com/68lQgIIXTy
