This chart is inaccurate.

1) At the time, they taken 44,000 cases and just divided by death. Without waiting for all cases to resolve.

NOPE
its 94% recovered/discharged 6% death
its not 94% still sick 6% dead


If you look at the post, it's not about https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

if you look at the chart. its all about the worldometer
here is the friggen link
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-age-sex-demographics/

by the way. its not based on current active cases of people currently sick
there was an explanation that if it was then the numbers would be misleading
so if you kept reading the page it says

CFR = deaths / (deaths + recovered)

not
CFR = deaths / (deaths + currently sick)
nor
CFR = deaths / (deaths + currently sick +recovered)


here:
Quote
CFR = deaths / (deaths + recovered)

which, with the latest data available, would be equal to:

3,600 / (3,600 + 60,190) = 6% CFR (worldwide)
