We will eventually know that, or be able to approximate it. It'll be next year or later before we do though.

Maybe but it will indeed be an estimate and when/if that happens, the number could definitely go lower, wouldn’t you agree?
Still then you have to be careful with one percentage fits all. The rising nations will still have a much higher rate and we should be able to account for that. Most we can do a good job on but if you read your chance of dying from this is .1 % and not understand that it is highly contingent on you previous condition and where you live you could be in trouble.
Yes, avoiding hospital saturation was always the prime motivating factor.
I do find it odd that the Pandemic Team, and even the President, did an about-face on the virus based upon those Imperial College numbers. Would we have ultimately gone the way we did regardless? Hard to say. That wasn't the only factor, certainly. If we base our own pandemic response upon the data of an ally without substantiation on our end, I find that problematic.
Yes. IFR changes from nation to nation, county to county, city to city, demographic to demographic.
We have done a ton of things wrong.
First is listen to the experts, not follow their advice blindly.
Should have closed NY to foreign travel way before we did.
Should have quarantined NY instead of crying about being bad for NY.
Should have immediately increased medical capacities.
Should have fought fires instead of whole country.
I could go on for days but it is our CDC that is absolutely pathetic. They should be spending every minute and every penny on figuring out how to respond to a pandemic. If we are going to have a CDC they need to focus only on the disease control not gun violence, climate change, etc. Their response is laughable and the little pandemic booklet they have is a joke.
We will break it down better for all after this virus I believe. The fact that not everyone in our country can see the data in the categories necessary for them to see is atrocious. The overall number is important but ground level stats are needed to make informed decisions. I am in a bummed mood today because someone got me to take a peak at the CDC budget and expenditures the last few years. That kind of waste and performance is pathetic.
Two months ago I said that there is going to be a massive blame pie eaten, and everyone from the President down to governors and everyone in between will eat it.
I agree but the thing is we don't learn. Politicians are great at casting blame but there are no solutions. Look at our Presidential race, we have one candidate running on blaming the President, the other is running on blame the elites. Neither side is very specific in what they are going to do just blame the other guy.
Since that article was written it is well known that there have been an increase in deaths from heart attacks by people not seeking medical care, there has been an extraordinary number of suicides, there have been a spike in deaths of cancer patients, that article is as flawed as any information out of China.
Did you know I was replying to someone who quoted not trusting the Chinese. Your a tool, Jim in Scranton.
Strokes and heart attacks are easily caused by COVID. That has been shown and I don't think anyone disputes that. Of course cancer and car wrecks would be pretty dumb.
