 If the CFR was 1%, then that means that ~350,000 people have been infected (114,000 have been reported)

I have a question on terminology. In earlier discussions of the CFR, I was using the term as you do above (I was speculating that, due to what I thought would be a substantial number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic infections, that the CFR would be end up being put at less than 1%--which I still think will be true). But since then I've read elsewhere that this is more properly called the Infection Fatality Rate, and that Case Fatality Rate is a more ambiguous term that depends on how a case is defined (e.g., positive test; hospitalization; ICU transfer, etc.). Can anyone help straighten me out? Thanks!
