Isn’t the CDC at .28?

CDC set a lower bound estimate of 0.26% IFR. Johns Hopkins believes the IFR to be 0.5% - 1.0%.

This information is weeks old. It looks like NPR published this at the end of May. Nothing new here really. Worth noting that with the CDC IFR, we’re still nowhere near the end number of deaths for this. It could easily hit 600,000 - 750,000 total deaths by the end of it depending on how the R0 changes (which governs when we reach herd immunity).

Last I read, the CDC estimated a .26 fatality rate for those infected with the virus. But like everything else in this mess, there are numerous models trying to determine the actual fatality rate and those guesstimates range anywhere from .2 - 1.5%.

As it is with global warming, I think the models depend a great deal on your political agenda.
