Thanks for putting this together. One thing to note: in our study (https://www.eurosurveillance.org/content/10.2807/1560-7917.ES.2020.25.12.2000256#abstract_content …), the adjusted IFR was 0.6% (95% CI: 0.2–1.3), not 1.2% (that was the CFR)

Updated! New figure for IFR estimate is 0.75% (0.49-1.01%) - slightly lower but not a huge difference
