    Snippet: In this paper, we analyze cross-country differences in observed CFRs and within-country time trends in CFRs. We use recent data on China, France, Germany, Italy, South Korea, Spain, and the United States. We use a standard demographic decomposition technique [6] to disentangle two potential drivers of differences and trends: (1) the age structure of diagnosed infection cases and (2) age-specific case-fatality rates.

We interpret our findings in light of the unfolding knowledge about data-driven biases.
