Case fatality rate != infection fatality rate

pde opened this issue · comments

Nice calculator! It seems the label "case fatality rate" slider should be changed to be "infection fatality rate"? If you're going to use CFR, you would need an extra variable or two to specify what fraction of infections are diagnosed, and/or model the testing process itself.

Thanks for reporting this! We forked Epidemic Calculator and this was one of the issues we addressed in our fork: https://corosim.fi/
