It was last updated on April 17th. While COVID-19 is likely more deadly than a typical influenza IFR, it is now scientifically possible it is no deadlier. Let that sink in for a moment.
The lower estimate of the most up to date research shows COVID-19 is no deadlier than a typical influenza.
Taking account of historical experience, trends in the data, increased number of infections in the population at largest, and potential impact of misclassification of deaths gives a presumed estimate for the COVID-19 IFR somewhere between 0.1% and 0.36%.*
But if we could just save one life by shutting down the economy and costing all of our carriers, isn’t it worth it?
