Global Covid-19 Case Fatality Rates

== A Tale of Two Narratives ==
The Left has a narrative that the Right is being irresponsible by wanting to open back up.
What's actually happening is that the Right is paying attention to the science that shows this virus has a very low IFR. The Left seems hell bent on making the coming depression as bad as it can be by saying the complete lockdown must continue and we must all wear masks, even though Sweden is doing just fine with neither of those measures.
The NYT is leading you astray on the science. This happened before with Iraq, you'll recall, in favor of groups who wanted war.
Why is the NYT doing this? Which strings are being pulled? (like in Iraq?)

To get an understanding of this virus, I suggest reading the page by Oxford University's Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine on the virus. In it you will find the following:
"Taking account of historical experience, trends in the data, increased number of infections in the population at largest, and potential impact of misclassification of deaths gives a presumed estimate for the COVID-19 IFR somewhere between 0.1% and 0.41%.*"

It's time to:
a) admit we over-reacted, and
b) responsibly open back up.
