Do you have a scatterplot of CFR vs median age?
-
I already learned something interesting. Judging from the data so far, the way countries end up with a lot of deaths is by having a high CFR (rather than having a high population).
In fact, Max, how about a scatterplot of CFR vs total deaths? That should show the correlation directly.

How would that help? Wouldn't it just give you straight lines to the top right, because CFR directly depends on total deaths? CFR vs Age seems more interesting.

Don't know what your prior was, but maybe it's less correlated that you had thought? https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/deaths-covid-19-vs-case-fatality-rate … (By clicking into the timeline you can see the change of both variables over time which shows that not in all countries both measures moved together.)

Note that the controversy on how to calculate and compare CFR is not a new issue In 2013 this paper looked at 50 studies estimating CFR for H1N1. The ranges, approaches and denominators were all over the place. I'm not certain it's been resolved yet.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3809029/ …
