That is misinformation. The CDC's best estimate of COVID-19 infection fatality rate is under 1%.

The link you posted is for case fatality rates. Those are essentially meaningless because so many infections are never counted as official cases.

I'm comparing the case fatality rate for COVID and flu, since that is a like-for-like comparison and is about as far from misinformation as you can get!

I don't think you can get infection fatality rates for flu, since it is so low (and so many infected people are never tested) but feel free to provide them

That is not a like-for-like comparison because the case fatality rates weren't calculated using the same method.
