The problem with case fatality rates is that we absolutely know many more people have been infected than have actually been tested positive and added to the case total. It’s the infection fatality rate that is a better guide to the how fatal the infection is. Even that number is kind of soft because the only way they can get the infection total is by estimating it using antibody tests in portions of the population and then assuming that rate applies to the whole country. The IFR is WAY lower than the CFR.
