NY State does not have an IFR of 0.5%. You are probably quoting Cuomo's press briefing https://www.ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/news/2020/04/23/governo... which claims 0.5% based on this math:

The CDC estimate (IFR 0.26%, S-IFR 0.4%) is heavily criticized because it ignores, thus predates, the 3 largest and most reliable serosurveys which all indicate an IFR of ~1% (S-IFR ~1.54%, assuming 35% of cases are asymptomatic): 1.0% in B

If 20% die but 8 out of 10 are very old and sick, then globally 4% die who are healthy or not very old. 4% of an (healthy not very old) population dying still means overall the economy would contract by 4% (because product/service dema

It would be neat to combine a heat pump (water heater or general heater) so that the outdoor coil (cooling down the air) is put to good use instead of being wasted cold. For example the cold coil could be cooling down a fridge or freezer. I

Americans eat 24M chickens per day. So 2M killed is only a fraction of the number eaten in a single day. However it's still deplorable that we can't find a way to not waste this amount of food.

I disagree. It's simply too early to make that determination. The Spanish Flu had a estimated infection fatality ratio of >2.5% ( https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/12/1/05-0979_article ). As anothe

If this study is accurate, then 1.8 million NYC resident are infected. So 15 411 deaths (as of today, including 5 121 probable deaths) suggests COVID-19 has a fatality rate of MINIMUM 0.9% which is in line with previous estimates (between 0

Yup, readline's yank-last-arg command Alt-. or Alt-_ (see https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Commands-... ) is the best off-the-shelf solution that still gives the ability to interact
