Not that sensitive. And I can piss into the wind (about our mitigation efforts) :laughing
Oh yeah, Sturgis... It's nine months away so we have lots of time to shoot the breeze
I truly hoped to find something a little closer to home. There was another report on the WHO site, but...
And it's not like I get paid for any of this, ever; and I'm not going for style points either so I don't really care deep down inside. I will admit to being a bit coarse here. I'm not immune to the effects of this, and honestly the past two weeks have presented new realities of my job and home crumbling away.
The irony is I chose not to take that extra course for the Mathematics degree, because who really needs it? Little did I know how I could have used it later in life on a motorcycle forum.
CFR is the ratio of known cases to fatalities.
IFR is the ratio of all infections to fatalities. We cannot really know this number because we are unable to test everyone still alive.
Wow! 30F mid-day in bucolic downtown Sturgis, according to the webcams on Main Street.
Windy too.

Don't get to hung up on some of the noise. You've added some interesting perspectives.
To note: the Imperial model is what originally predicted eleventy billion OMG deaths. I'm not gonna discredit their work but it is a meta which they do address. Also to note, their meta is of 10 serological surveys with the majority being in the EU. I think this will slant the IFR in comparison to the US.

I know the New York State sero study and think it's problematic so it reinforces my questioning.

Ah, ok, the "circle jerk" comment threw me off.
I assume IFR means something other than Instrument Flight Rules as that's what I get when I google IFR.
