Agree, the odds of getting the virus are slim, and the recovery rate is excellent.

CFR, IFR, Spanish flu, Seasonal flu? Oh my!
Are you enlightened now? Got clarity? I am not and I didn't. But that just me, unlettered rustic bumpkin.

To get an estimate of overall IFR, one would need to know the numbers infected in each age group to go with the IFRs for each age group, which are as TD described.
