Yes, and for some reason to be known, there is more underestimation in red states. 35% in red, 25% in blue.
-
US IFR 0.8%

In fact, people who make these optimistic IFR assumptions choose to ignore such facts. Eg. 0,3% of the *entire* population of Lombardy, Italy has died of covid to this date.
-
0.25% of the entire *country* of Czechia too.

Also it has decreased over time because since the first wave, the over 65 age group has been less represented in the infected population, though producing a greater fraction of the deaths, and better treatments have lowered the IFR.
