Yes, the IFR is the number of people who die “of the disease among all infected individuals (symptomatic and asymptomatic),” according to the CDC, yet its criteria for classifying cases as Covid provide significant leeway. See https://peacebyjesus.net/covid-19_shutdown_effects.html#CDC from last year.

I have major doubts about what has been counted. You see, many of us in our COVID disease never reported it. We tested at home, never went to doc etc. others of us verified it months later with antibodies. We’re they ever counted? To my memory the only people in my circle who counted were my mom, and me 2 years ago, when we got official antigen tests.

Then there are my nephew and family. My nephew got his COVID where he WORKED, in Maryland. He was also tracked in Delaware, his residence. Was his one disease counted twice in national figures? How about people spanning counties? Are they counted twice for the state?

The whole process has been very haphazard, if you ask me.
