Hello,

Where can I get CFR figures per geographic region?

Many thanks,
Dan.

Hi @CholoTook

CFR figures are available in the following graph: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/coronavirus-cfr

However, during an outbreak of a pandemic the CFR is a poor measure of the mortality risk of the disease.

Thanks. However I was curious about getting the cfr from (or in) the raw data dump. I guess I just divide the deaths by the cases to derive the cfr?

Many thanks,
Dan.

BTW, what's a better measure?
