After the publication of this article, it was reported that one inmate at the Trousdale prison in Tennessee has died of COVID-19.
Numerous serology study results have been extrapolated to show that when you account for the true number of people who have gotten this virus, the infection fatality rate drops to 0.1%-0.3%. And the deaths are very lopsided among the elderly and chronically ill, which indicates that younger and healthier people have an even lower risk of dying from COVID-19 - perhaps even 1 in 3,000, depending on the age or health status.
There is no better case study than a prison, where you can test the entirety of an isolated population and get exact percentages.
Even if we assume only 20 percent of the total federal prison population had the virus, which is roughly in line with the rate in other confined environments, such as the USS Theodore Roosevelt and the Diamond Princess cruise ship, it would still be a fatality rate of just 0.1%, or 1 in 1,000.
According to Reuters, a recent tally of 3,277 inmates in state prison systems in Arkansas, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia who had tested positive for the virus showed that 96 percent of those who tested positive were asymptomatic.
If we use the 53% infection rate in the Tennessee prison and extrapolate nationally, that would be an infection fatality rate of 0.03%. In one women's prison in Louisiana, 75% tested positive.
Just 10% of the state prison population is over 55, compared to 29% of the general population.
