Are you describing the actual study or the study as you're imagining it? Because I imagine the statisticians have thought of these concerns and attempted to correct for them.
I find it interesting that this study corresponds to an IFR around 0.5%, similar to the IFR arrived at by other studies using very different methods. Perhaps the statisticians who conduct these studies actually know what they're doing better than Hacker News commenters.
And perhaps it's time to accept the politically inconvenient scientific truth these studies are revealing.
