> ..with lockdowns in effect enough to keep hospitalization rates below capacity.

Lockdowns likely wouldn't affect IFR. It's a measure of fatality, not of infection rate, unless you think lifting the lockdown would cause a dramatic shift in infections to more vulnerable populations.



The IFR they're quoting is the death rate per infection.

It's not infections/population.
