You use IFR of .6% to extrapolate total # of infections. It's probably better than using CFR since testing is so all over the map.

But of course so is IFR due to population differences. IFR was much higher in the early days when this thing was running rampant in nursing homes. I've read speculation it's more like about .25% right now - which seems reasonable to me.
