NY really appears to be an outlier for the US. An IFR of roughly 1.4% does appear more inline with that for older sicker populations. There may also be other factors such as a more deadly viral strain, older population vs the rest of the US, genetic makeup of the population being more prone to covid-19, or differences in healthcare access and or application. It really seems the fatality rate for covid-19 is bi-modal. Recognizing that seems critical to putting resources into finding the underlying reasons to respond with correct solutions for any given area.
