No. From the link I posted: "Infection fatality rates (IFRs) were higher in countries with older populations, such as Japan (1.09%, 95% Credible Interval [CrI] 0.94%-1.26%) and Italy (0.94%, 95% CrI 0.80%-1.08%), compared with countries with younger populations, such as Kenya (0.09%, 95% CrI 0.08%-0.10%), and Pakistan (0.16%, 95% CrI 0.14% – 0.19%) (Figure)."
That's 0.1-1.1%, not 0.1-0.5%. And the initial context was the USA, whose age distribution is more like (though noticeably different) Italy's than it's like Kenya's.
