CFR for Santa Fe is 94/8629 = .011

CFR for NM as a whole is 2,912/162,893 = .018

CFR for Hampshire County is 219/4952 = .044

CFR for MA as a whole is  13,583/465,726 = .030

 

 

So the question remains, why am I four times less likely to die if I get sick here in Santa Fe, than if I go back to Hampshire County?  Putting aside the fallacy of induction.   The whole thing is a little crazy because Hampshire county includes none of the big Massachusetts hot spots.  I suppose it’s imponderable, but I just though I would see what the list thinks about it.

Nick,

 

You're making this harder than it has to be. The nyt gives you total cases and total deaths directly. You can divide total deaths by total cases to get the case fatality rate.

 

CFR for Santa Fe is 94/8629 = .011

CFR for NM as a whole is 2,912/162,893 = .018

CFR for Hampshire County is 219/4952 = .044

CFR for MA as a whole is  13,583/465,726 = .030

 

Best,

Alex

Dear Mathematically Competent Colleagues,

 

See below.

 

Do you agree that the population case rate divided by the population divided by the population death rate is equal to case fatality rate? If so, the case fatality rate in Santa Fe County is very low, a little over one percent whereas the case fatality rate in Hampshire County, Massachusetts, (where I have not been for a year but has a comparable population) is  little over 4 percent.  I tried to add King County Wa, where Glen is, because it was an early participant in the pandemic as was Massachusetts, but the tracker wont let me add new entries, today.  The case fatality rate in MA is a tad under 5%, if my calculations are correct.  In other words, if you catch covid in MA, with the world’s fanciest hospitals, you 4+ times more likely to die than if you catch it in New Mexico.  Now, I was tempted to attribute this to the hospitals: i.e, terminal cases were coming into MA hospitals from other states, but Hampshire County doesn’t HAVE any fancy hospitals. 

 

Hopefully this all because I am dividing reciprocals wrong.  Does [1/a]/[1/b] = b/a?
