Actually the denominator is much larger what’s being used as undoubtedly there are many more cases than confirmed.

That being the case the percentage is actually much lower.

As reported: (93 deaths/4,743 confirmed)* 100 = 1.96%

If the confirmed cases were only off by a factor of 10

More likely: (93 deaths/47,430)* 100 = .196%

Why not just use the entire population of the known universe as the denominator?

You need never worry about any disease again!
