That's pretty harsh. They are referring to the case fatality rate ("CFR") while you are referring to the estimated infection fatality rate ("IFR").
Edit: OK, I usually don't do that but please tell me in which way parent's comment is possibly better than a comment like this would have been: "Looks like you are referring to the CFR. That's a bad way to measure fatality rate and the CDC has an estimate for the IFR anyways. You can find it here."
