New with Steve Drews and Sheila O’Brien from @CANBloodServ and the amazing @AshTuite
Infection fatality ratio for covid-19 in Ontario. Tldr: it’s around 1% after excluding longterm care deaths, same estimate as in many other countries.https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.11.09.20223396v1 …

And the study is determining an IFR using data to May 10th? That's any less process bankrupt? As I said, what's clear is the age stratified differences in mortality between flu and covid. The young are not at risk. How many ont Covid deaths under 50 since the original epidemic?

It is far less meaningless, because it is determining how many died of those infected, not comparing two completely different statistics in a meaningless way. Younger people are at a much lower risk if infected, but at most ages still much deadlier than influenza

Re: "Very uninformative as a comparison, mostly meaningless" And they're not even doing it correctly. Just ideologically-motivated nonsense; I'm getting tired of it from the non-expert 'tech bros'. https://twitter.com/AtomsksSanakan/status/1327087089104596993 … https://www.thelancet.com/action/showPdf?pii=S1473-3099%2820%2930484-9 …pic.twitter.com/SK4VJKLxaQ
