Error bars:
The error bars represent a bootstrapped (one million re-samplings) 95% (percentile) confidence-interval for the mean fatality rate (# of deaths divided by the # of cases)
The number of deaths for older individuals has increased drastically in Italy.
Why didn’t you include data from the US and/or other countries?
Only countries that provide their COVID-19 raw data in the same age brackets presented above can be used. This is not the case for the United States (at this time).
Is this data biased in any way?
If you want to compare the bars to each other, you must accept the following caveats:
The level of care and number of hospital beds available differs greatly by country. This bias can skew the age demographics of those who succumb to disease. Pre-emptive testing can increase the total number of mild or asymptomatic cases detected and thus lower the overall mortality for all groups. Not all countries report deaths related to SARS-CoV-2 in the same way.

Instead, why not donate to The UN Refugee Agency where a dedicated team is fighting COVID-19 on behalf of vulnerable people worldwide.

It is crazy, and positive, that no young child has died from this.
Edit: Young child is the 0-9 age group.
Edit 2: I was expressing this from a lens of a parent of two young children.
