Not a single paper to come out in the past 72 hours has a CFR that high. We have been inundated with these very high numbers, but they are based on an almost certainly underestimated infection rate.
Several experts have no opined that the CFR is likely less than 1%, perhaps much less.
A paper today projected it at .04% [0].
