Infection Fatality Rate broken down by month....so we could compare March with, say, September.

Seems like that would be tough to do since the guidance early was stay home if you have symptoms and only come in if it gets bad. There were a ton of people early that never got tested

You'd probably have to throw out March and April, and maybe even May, since we were really only testing those who had the worst symptoms. I think we've been testing pretty heavily since about June, though.

Agree. I think the virus has mutated to a less virulent form.

Or perhaps we are simply developing antibodies and developing better treatments.

Could be. But whatever there is no need for restrictions anymore.

WSJ produced one by age and date from a CDC database. I will look for it...
