CFR is not a great way of comparing across regions, it could be due to any number of factors. Demographics (i.e. age), co-moribidities and the amount of hospital space available.

In fact the per-country spread of CFR is huge, from a low of 0.07% in Singapore to a high of 14.93% in Belgium, a whole 3 orders of magnitude. The H1N1 influenza CFR at a similar point in the outbreak was between 0.1% and 5.1% -- but the final IFR ended up at 0.02% [1].
