Revisiting DK EBV and CMV estimates, or adding limitation to report: #198

When extrapolating German or Dutch CMV/EBV estimates for Denmark, we need to think about the share of foreign-born in the extrapolated estimate and in the target location. E.g., foreign-born individuals have markedly higher CMV seroprevalence; if Copenhagen has large non-Western populations, seroprevalence there could thus be higher than in the general population of Germany or the Netherlands.

See this graph for the difference in CMV seroprevalence between Dutch Western and non-Western individuals(study link, page 3)

Will discuss with Charlie Whittaker how relevant this is.
