Estimating missing deaths in Delhi's COVID-19 data
Chakravarty, S.
Show abstract
A sero-prevalence survey in Delhi measured an infection rate of 23.48% and an implied infection fatality rate (IFR) of 0.06%. Modeling using age group based IFRs from France, Spain and Lombardia project an average IFR that is significantly higher than currently estimated. We show that at least 1500-2500 COVID-19 deaths in the 60+ age group are missing.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
