That is misinformation. The actual COVID-19 infection fatality rate calculated by the CDC is 0.6%, not 1.2%.

The JHU site that’s linked is reporting case fatality rates, not infection fatality rates

It’s also not estimating case under-reporting like CDC is

I think jumping straight to misinformation is a bit strong here, but it’s important to make fair comparisons and discuss the context of the stats along with the raw numbers

So only ~36x more deadly!
