No. This is completely incorrect.
The case fatality rate is the number of deaths divided by confirmed infections. This is what is being reported.
Infection Fatality Ratio changes the denominator to a model for the currently infected population. This is a smaller number, because the denominator is much larger.
There is no mortality metric being reported by reputable sources that is multiples higher than the CFR, as you suggest.

As I said, draw your own conclusions from the reported data by Johns Hopkins (do they pass the filter for 'reputable'?). The most useful number I know is, survival chances. How many in 100 stand to be alive say 2 months later. The numbers seem worse than 98, by a good margin. At least worldwide.
