The WHO just published updated overall IFR (the true CFR including all unknown cases) estimations by John Ioannidis, one of the most cited scholars in the world.

Overall CFR = 0.23% (like a severe flu wave)
CFR under 70 years: 0.05%

I would agree "with the science" and add that the CFR will continue to drop over time with increasing herd immunity, better medication and the avoidance of early mistakes like sending infected into nursing homes, lung intubation or lock-down fiascos.
