Will all these new cases result in more deaths? Here's one view: The @youyanggu model estimates there are *actually* around 200K! new symptomatic COVID-19 infections per day in the US. We're only capturing around 1/4 of these through testing, he estimates. https://t.co/Qxu8rSPoV1 — PolitiTweet.org

The other metrics were bad, though. The second straight day above 50K new cases. And while there's a fair amount of testing, the positive test rate has climbed to 8% after having been around 4-5% at the low point several weeks ago. — PolitiTweet.org

He estimates the current IFR (infection fatality rate) is 0.2%-0.4%. This has actually fallen some from ~1.0% in the early stages of the epidemic. An IFR of 0.2%-0.4% on 200K new cases per day would lead to 400-800 deaths per day. By comparison, the current 7-day average is 527. — PolitiTweet.org
