- nradov 6y agoIFR is simply the percentage of those infected who die. Lifting the restrictions might cause more deaths, but it wouldn't change the IFR.
- pjc50 6y agoThe fatality rate is dependent on overall infection rate, because treatment capacity is finite and once it goes above capacity people who might have lived get parked on trolleys in the hospital corridors to die.
