- petertodd 6y ago> IFR is in fact higher according to that research, By "that research" you mean https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.23.20160895v5.full.pdf https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.07.23.20160895v... right? Because it actually gives a slightly lower IFR than the CDC at age 55 (0.4% vs 0.5%), not higher. So I'm not sure what you mean. > US roads are far more dangerous than UK roads. Yes, according to the WHO(1) the US has a 3.6x higher mortality rate from car accidents than the UK, which gets us to 90x higher for the age group I quoted. Anyway, I didn't want to contradict that figure. Just give perspective. 1)https://www.who.int/violence_injury_prevention/road_safety_status/2015/TableA2.pdf https://www.who.int/violence_injury_prevention/road_safety_s...
