What’s CBG’s confidence interval? When he says 0.5-1%, does he mean something? Does he mean a confidence interval, or a distribution of “normal” situations or a distribution of more general situations? Or does he not mean anything?
Later on in that thread CBG also acknowledges it may be higher in than 1% in some places and conditions.
It’s nice that he says that, but that’s exactly the situation that you cited him in the other thread, claiming <=1%. I’m guessing that the pseudo-detail is exactly what caused you to not understand his claims. If you don’t know what he claims, how can you assess his work? At least with GC you’re not fooling yourself about what you’ve done.
And I still don’t know what he claims. He seems to claim that NYC had IFR <=1%. Was NYC normal or not? In any event he’s wrong. If NYC defines the upper range, then this affects his conclusion. If NYC doesn’t count, I dunno, but I’m pretty sure that people are equivocating on whether it counts.
Well, don’t do that. I told you this before.

I have edited the original comment to more fully reflect my position.
