Do you mean what are the actual numbers or what is the difference between case and infection rates?
Infection fatality rate=percentage of people infected with the virus who die from it. This includes asymptomatic people, and to determine this you have to test a random sample of the population.
Case fatality rate=percentage of people with actual illness who die from it. To determine this you only count people who got tests when they were sick.
CFR is the measure most commonly used, because it’s available in the normal course of business. To get IFR you have to spend research money testing healthy people and make sure you test a sample that is representative of the population you are trying to learn about.
Unless an illness is 100% fatal, CFR is always higher than IFR. So when comparing two illnesses it’s important to compare the same statistic.
Sorry if I just explained something obvious. I wasn’t sure which question you asked, so I answered the one I could do off the top of my head, not the one that I would have to look up, as I am on my phone between sets and that’s no time to be doing lit searches.
There seem to be plenty of people with numbers at hand around here, so I’ll leave the math to them.

Let me be perfectly clear here before I regret failing to me too-proof anything I say that might one day potentially be misconstrued: I'm not against this idea in principle, but holy shit Big Brother is real. I'm disappointed. This is exactly the sort of Gestapo-esque thinking that the legendary Czech resistance fought so valiantly against during WWII. R.I.P. UVOD.
