Original Note:
A 50% fatality rate for H5N1 refers to the case fatality rate (CFR), which is the percentage of confirmed cases that result in death. The infection fatality rate (IFR), typically lower, measures the percentage of all infections (including mild/asymptomatic) that are fatal. https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/influenza-h5n1
