Part of the issue with CFR is that it is fluid. Some areas will have lower CFR as the health system deals effectively with the issue, some will be higher if they are overwhelmed

Also some places have better health facilities, younger populations, More meaningful epidemiological data which all affect CFR etc (This is all obv af to Gid, more just for sake of completion for others reading this thread)

I would say that most current figures are likely to be an overestimate of CFR - by all indications there's a large pool of asymptomatic/mild cases that aren't confirmed, which pushes the CFR up significantly
