“But this is the number that is consistently cited by experts.”
They are NOT experts because if they were they wouldn’t say such provably ignorant things. If you would take 2 minutes and actually THINK about what REAL experts say about how to compute death rate you would would agree it is the only way.
Believe whatever you ant but the actual kill rate of this or any other virus can really never be known with certainty and the closest we can ever come is to take an informed GUESS and then only AFTER the contagion has stopped spreading.
There are no “experts” on this thing right now. Maybe in a month or so, they will be “experts”.
What do you do for a living?
I are a actual SCIENTIST, buddy! You’re spouting nonsense.
It’s (symptomatic)/(dead) that gives you the death rate normally quoted by medical experts and brilliant minds (like I am one).
(potentially infected + symptomatic)/(dead) is a guesstimate.

“Believe whatever you ant but the actual kill rate of this or any other virus can really never be known with certainty...”
Then at this point your guess that it’s lower than reported is no more valid than a guess that it might be higher, although I suppose it does fall into the category of “believe whatever you want”.
