On the contrary, this is not alarming at all.
It would point out that actual Covid-19 mortality could be close to that of seasonal flu, as it tells us the number of people infected is 50X-85X than the number of confirmed cases.
Assuming the data is reliable, of course.
- buboard 7y agothe authors infer an IFR of 0.12 - 0.2% which is smaller than other antibody studies (like the one in germany which inferred 0.37% IIRC). While it s indeed small, it reflects the current situation, not what will happen 2 weeks down the road, plus the sensitivity of their antibody testing is not precisely known yet.
