“In the US, it is 2.5%”

i repeat:

“without knowing how many have been infected and didn’t die, then we can’t compute a death rate”

death RATE = (number died) / (total infected in the population)

and total infected number in population won’t be known until widespread IGG/IGM testing has been completed ... and NOT just in healthcare workers and those with “symptoms”, but a true RANDOM sample large enough to be statistically valid for projecting the infection total in the entire population ...
