That would be IFR when the sick can be appropriate treated, right? I think it can be >>1% when hospitals are overwhelmed. It also obviously depends on demographics, prevalence of diabetes, etc.
Indeed! Anti-inflammatories, oxygen therapy, anticoagulants, blood pressure management, eventually invasive ventillation (though that seems less effective than was previously thought).
I suspect the United States will have a substantially higher IFR than Europe due to all the obesity and metabolic disease, and that when the ICUs pop it also rises.
