even if NYC and some other places had higher IFRs due to overwhelmed health systems, there is no way we are close to an IFR this low. it's just completely implausible.

For USA it is ridiculous. Yet, as I just said, Vietnam reports 35 deaths. Though that may be undercounting, they can’t hide too many bodies. So either they kept it out or ifr is lower there. I don’t know which.

Ioaniddis has minimized covid throughout. He’s spread conspiracies and tried to re-write his own errors. He may have influenced Trump admin to let covid spread. He’s now attacking his critics like a child. But it’s interesting you’ve seen more covid deaths than all of Vietnam.
