Probably the claim of 0.2% IFR. I don't know what the latest IFR estimates are, but it can't be that low: for example, more than 0.2% of Americans have died from Covid, and many Americans have never been infected.
- nradov 5y agoThe CDC estimated an overall 0.6% IFR for the US. The vast majority of those deaths are in the older age groups with serious co-morbid conditions such as obesity and diabetes. So the IFR for younger age groups is significantly lower than 0.2%. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/burden.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/burd...
