This article on #coronavirus case fatality rate is spot on. Thanks for moving beyond a soundbite @juliaoftorontohttps://twitter.com/juliaoftoronto/status/1235601474618523651 …
Unfortunately the article calculates CFRs wrong as it does not take into consideration epidemic growth (one main reason S. Korea is so low - and why the displayed graph shows lower CFRs over time). This mistake leads to very wrong numbers. More here:https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/05/health/coronavirus-deaths-rates.html …

We all want these numbers to be low, but trying to dispel one flawed estimate by providing several additional flawed estimates (to lower the numbers) is problematic. Fact is - we unfortunately don't have good estimates at the moment and it'll take time before we do.

Hm this was the point I was trying to make in the piece - maybe it wasn’t clear enough
