Depends if you want the “CFR” or “IFR” (in this case it is “IFR”)...it has been pretty well known that the “IFR” “# of infected” could be estimated at approx. “10x tested cases” or 15% of the population for months now. This new study is now saying 20% of pop. for NY.

Could even be 1/10 or less.

No, it’s still 0.65%. The Case Fatality Rate (CFR) has always been a useless metric peddled by the media intended to scare people with a higher number than reality.
