The CDC CFR is an approximation at this point.  The true CFR, as many epidemiologists will attest, can only be definitively identified at the end of a pandemic when the outcomes of all cases are known.  Deaths can be undercounted in some regions and overcounted in others.  Evolving periodic outbreaks can skew the number of infections noted.  These time varying errors are never reported by Google.  They just want you to accept them as fact and ask no questions.  You can cite the CFR, Fish, just simply acknowledge its limitation and accuracy.  As a mathematician once stated, 'CFR should, in effect, be used as a signal that points to stories worth investigating – and not be treated as the story itself".
