Here, let's do the math for you. Infection fatality rate is calculated by dividing the total number of deaths from the disease by the number of people infected.
Globally, as of today there have been 2,649,559 deaths from covid-19 out of 119,588,087 people infected.
(2,649,559 ÷ 119,588,087) x 100 = 2.2%
Now lets do Canada.
Canada has had 22,454 deaths from covid-19 out of 909,000 cases.
(22,454 ÷ 909,000) x 100 = 2.4%
Wow, geez, 2.4% sure doesn't look like 0.1% to me
