COVID-19: Updated data implies that UK modelling hugely overestimates the expected death rates from infection


Here is the link to the paper.

I didn’t notice any adjustment for false positives, which would tend to lower the computed fatality rate (did I miss it or is it not accounted for?).

A 30% false negative rate is pretty large. I have read elsewhere that there also is a large false positive rate.
