- myk9001 6y agoThank you for the links. I find them useful. But one difference with the Spanish documents is they don't estimate their IFRs. And if I'm not missing anything, doing it yourself is not trivial if possible at all. It's not enough to know that 5% (an arbitrary number, just to give an example) of a country's population developed antibodies. You'd also need to know the age structure of those 5%, which may or may not match the country's age structure.
- eveningcoffee 6y agoAnd I thank you for the link to the Spanish study. Yes, modeling prevalence is complex but once you have the total estimated infected then finding IFR becomes trivial. Calculating SMR would be much more difficult. Many (most?) countries do not produce reports in English but only in their native language. When you search in the native language then it is easier to find relevant data. Especially when you catch the right keywords they use.
