      If you haven't read the Imperial report you may underestimate how long we'll be social distancing for (it says months) (https://imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/medicine/sph/ide/gida-fellowships/Imperial-College-COVID19-NPI-modelling-16-03-2020.pdf …) If you have read it, you may overestimate because it doesn't account for improved testing/contact tracing (https://necsi.edu/review-of-ferguson-et-al-impact-of-non-pharmaceutical-interventions …)

      Will 0.9% fatality rate turn out to be accurate? There’re no broad studies with antibody testing for a large cohort of randomly selected people but 9.3% of the NBA players tested were positive with a live infection. If infection rates are 2x or 3x, IFR may be 1/2 or 1/3rd.

      Probably not but doubt there’ll be reliable enough data to action on that anytime soon, especially as effectiveness of suppression/social distancing has exponential decay and NBA players unlikely to be representative sample?

      We seem to have no good data on a critical question - what % of the total population has already been infected. lots of proxies point to asymptomatic infections being a multiple of symptomatic positive test. Worried we may be missing the forest for the trees.

      I think that’s the rationale for immediate lockdown and only relaxing it once tests and contact tracing have been rolled out extensively

      Indeed but if it’s true that also means the fatality rate is much lower than the 0.9%

      True, hope for the best and prepare for the worst I guess. Also, seems NBA players might be more representative a sample than I’d thought (don’t know source of assumption)https://twitter.com/friedberg/status/1240041815840919552?s=20 …

      NBA players are no more likely to be exposed or infected with the coronavirus than a restaurant worker, retail worker, or bus driver.. probably equivalent human interactions per day. so, do we have widespread asymptomatic infections in the US? probably...

          If the 0.9% fatality rate is off by a multiple, then so is the hospitalization rate. It would be very useful to know that soon. Singapore seems to already be using antibody tests. Those could also allow people with immunity to go back into the workforce.
