So all videos must refer to an IFR of > 3%?
- logicchains 6y agoWHO has now accepted https://www.who.int/bulletin/online_first/BLT.20.265892.pdf https://www.who.int/bulletin/online_first/BLT.20.265892.pdf for publication, which concludes: "Most locations probably have an infection fatality rate less than 0.20% and with appropriate, precise non-pharmacological measures that selectively try to protect high-risk vulnerable populations and settings, the infection fatality rate may be brought even lower. "
- jMyles 6y agoThat's the point though: if a video had, in the intervening time, asserted this more accurate IFR, it'd be against the letter-of-the-law per these rules. The WHO hasn't been the infallible source of truth that Google is trying to portray - nobody has.
