I definitely do not think that the true IFR is higher. But again, I’m not a doctor and this is not medical advice.

- imustbeevil 7y agoBased on the data here: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ The current death rate of closed cases is 9%. I guess the expectation is that it falls once we develop a vaccine?
- odkamkfn 7y agoMost infections never turn into "cases", which is why the IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) is a lot lower than the CFR (Case Fatality Rate). How much lower is very, very hard to say. Also note that there's no strict definition for how to calculate the CFR, so you'll see conflicting numbers even for the same area/country.
