I think 20% is definitely in the range of plausibility. See 15% infection rate in a set of tested pregnant women in NYC[1]

I think the preponderance of evidence currently points to an IFR of 1% or maybe a bit lower.

This is massively informative. If anything pregnant women take a lot more precautions than other people. They are most likely under representing the overall infection rate.

Yes, very interesting, NYC will certainly be an important source of data for the foreseeable future.
