Covid less deadly now

From Dr. Ashish Jha:

If you look at the case-fatality rate now in places like NY or MA
Down to 0.3% (that’s deaths today divided by cases 3 weeks ago)
And given we’re missing lots of cases (because of home testing)
CFR is even lower
Remember, throughout the pandemic, CFR has been closer to 1.6%
