Our NYC serosurvey paper is now out in Nature:
1) if extrapolated to the NYC population we found>1.7 million infected and IFR at 0.97
2) earlier introduction of the virus into city than officially detected
3) seroprevalence AND titers are stable so far https://t.co/XK3TWVveXf

Yeah, if we look for it we can create a sky high IFR from extrapolation from a small area. The idea that the IFR is close to 1% looks laughable at this point.

This is still the failed Imperial College model that said 90,000 would be dead in Sweden.
