No cfr is only I at the end of the epidemic. Either way I slides the data based on those likely exposed.

No. IFR is mortality rate at the end of the epidemic. CFR exactly matches IFR if all infections are diagnosed.

No because you don’t know how many of them will die. In your definition you know the R not the F. Look, I’m quoting the WHO report. You’re welcome to take it up with them.

R is ratio or risk. It is directly computed from C and F just as it is directly computed from I and F.
I don't seen any quotes in your comment.
