tedrick Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Great discussion everyone - so in my state, for the week of July 5 - 11we have cumulative 40,163 cases and 1,490 deaths - would you calculate IFR by dividing deaths by case -- mortality rate of: 0.037 How would we calculate Infection Fatality Rate for the entire USA?

Know I grumped about percentages but almost had a math minor so.... your state 3.7% US roughly 3m cases and 135k deaths.. 4.5% once a number cruncher always a number cruncher 😖 Edited July 13, 2020 by JimF-LowBari 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skevinp Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) Since it is apparently OK to care about the facts again (at least for a second) I would point out that the 4.2% is not the actual fatality rate of deaths per infections. It is what Johns Hopkins calls the “case” fatality rate, which is deaths per reported cases. That is a hugely important difference if we want to understand the risks.
