We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

Given the amount of asymptomatic and mild cases there really isn’t any reason to assume a tripling of hospitalizations or death rates. The safe assumption we can make is that we are much closer to catching all of the severe cases than we are to catching all cases.

Right, that's the point. New York is already more than triple the per-capita death rate of Massachusetts. That shouldn't be possible if it's true that 32% of people in the latter already have caught it and you assume that death rates shouldn't vary much among cases.

Home.depot has been meeting goals in like half a.month with the lockdown. Hopefully smaller hardware stores are like that as well.

We don’t need to assume death rates are relatively equal among all cases. We know they aren’t based on per capita rates in various locations.

You think that New Yorkers are inherently more likely to die from it? For what reason?

If this isn't evidence of the butterfly effect I don't know what is.

Wouldn't one have to assume that NY has proportionally more unknown cases as well so the CFR wouldn't be different?

You are welcome to explore the reasoning for the wide range of death rates. It would be interesting to see. Perhaps the suspected various strands plays a part. But the point is that at this time based on available numbers assuming equal death rates just doesn’t work as an assumption. However, if you add a ton of cases then New York could be more equal to other places on the death rate, which would then support the idea put forth about many more infected.

NYC has already exceeded the lower bound of the CFR based on the antibody study. Therefore, it cannot be correct.

I'm ignoring cases entirely and just focusing on deaths per capita, so that shouldn't make a difference.

Possibly. :-)

Anyway, my point isn't that it's impossible that 32% of people in Boston have it - only that it seems very unlikely given what we're seeing in NYC. Time will tell.
