> H1N1: 0.4% CFR in the US
This seems categorically false.
CDC estimates that ~61M Americans were infected with ~12,469 deaths. That would be a CFR in the US of 0.02%.
According to current numbers,the CFR in SK is closer to 9‰

You picked SK and left Italy on the left.
Because Italy has no idea how many cases they have.
The best data sets so far are South Korea and the Princess Cruise ship, because they did widespread testing. Both show a CFR of about 0.6%.
COVID-19: 0.6% CFR in South Korea (likely similar in other locations when we stop undercounting infections)
These aren't so dramatically different, are they?
But they are: H1N1 had a median death in the US of 37 years old, rather than 80+.
