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

How many pediatric flu deaths happen in Canada each year vs how many pediatric Covid deaths have we seen so far? (Granted Covid is only ~9 months.)

No idea. I do know the stats for the US, where about double the kids <18 have died from COVID-19 than influenza this year, about 2x the infants, and about 10x as many people <50

That's in the epidemic phase with the most susceptible having now passed. What about the now more endemic phase? And by the way, Canada has had 2 (two) <19 covid deaths, and every year we have at least 10 that we know of of flu.

The first statement is total nonsense. Canada is, I believe, currently experiencing a massive epidemic. As to the second - quite interesting. I imagine that will increase now given the vast number of cases now, which is quite sad

Casedemic, actually. I believe our PCR thresholds are incredibly high, and deaths per day in Ontario are .11 per 100,000 with 60%+ in LTC while society is in ruin.

I think I get what's happening. When the pandemic goes away, so do the grants. I get it now.

What a ridiculously ignorant thing to say. Academia is one of the hardest-hit areas, especially where I live. I know many people who have lost their jobs. I personally have been paid $0 for all of my work thus far on COVID-19
