One of the biggest and most divisive questions for the last 3 years has been “what is the risk of dying from COVID-19?”. This has been debated everywhere from national newspapers to the CDC and WHO, with divergent opinions on just how dangerous a case of COVID-19 is for individuals. Gideon Meyerowitz-Katz will present on work conducted since the start of the pandemic which merges epidemiology, demography, and detective work to identify the rate of death per infection with COVID-19 and why it remains a challenging question to address.
