I wonder what data they are getting that is different from the rest us. The statement creates more questions than answers.

Whom do refer to re: “us”? Who else keeps worldwide stats?

I think that because there are so many people who get the disease and then either have no symptoms or have very mild symptoms and thereby never see a doctor that the actual death rate might be much lower.

It's not. This is just a simple matter of arithmetic based on the figures we have been getting for weeks.

For instance today: 92,880 cases so far, 3168 deaths.

3168/32880 = 3.4%

Of course, unfortunately more of the 41,217 remaining infected patients reported as of today will also not survive.
