    Those are not real IFRs, those are estimates used for planning scenarios. Also, they don't include anyone over the age of 80. > The parameters in the scenarios: > Are estimates intended to support public health preparedness and planning. > Are not predictions of the expected effects of COVID-19. > Do not reflect the impact of any behavioral changes, social distancing, or other interventions.

      > Those are not real IFRs, those are estimates used for planning scenarios. Estimates are the realest thing we have. > Do not reflect the impact of any behavioral changes, social distancing, or other interventions. How would these things affect the IFR negatively?
