that is a 2.4% death rate!
not good!
That’s deaths against cases. The true way to do it is at the end of the outbreak.
If you take deaths/(deaths+recovered) you get a much more grim prospect.
And remember the numbers we can run them against are the reported cases. In China a case= hospitalized and tested. We have no idea.
Also deaths are only hospitalized +tested + dead in hospital. If grandma died at home, it’s just pneumonia.
So, we just don’t know yet. The out of China numbers are good, but it’s only been out in any numbers for less than 2 weeks.
