Infection Fatality Rate of .23% means that the number of people infected (I) times .23% = the number of deaths (D).

D = US Covid Deaths = 431,392
P = US Population = 332,108,584

I x .23% = D

I = D ÷ .0023

I = 431,392 ÷ .0023

I = 187,561,739 people in the US infected

I ÷ P = infection rate

187,561,739 ÷ 332,108,584 = 0.564760 = 56% infection rate.

                              You're using an estimated number for cases, which likely - SparkyStalcup MU - 1/25 22:14:53
                                   That is how infection fatality rates have always been estima - JeffB MU - 1/25 22:27:39
                                        What I'm getting at is that you are estimating cases but - SparkyStalcup MU - 1/25 22:34:48

                                                  I figured someone might pick up on that. The problem is - SparkyStalcup MU - 1/26 08:16:18
                                                       I've seen papers claiming that the death rate is overstated. - JeffB MU - 1/26 12:20:30
