In this third episode of Broken Narratives, I have covered the Infection Fatality Rate(IFR) of COVID-19 and which population was most at risk of dying from COVID-19. How COVID-19 compared to the flu, how underlying health conditions played a significant role in COVID-19 outcomes, and how this information should have guided our response to COVID-19.
