"Bet the true death rate is already between 7% and 8%." I've read that the death rate in Canada is 9%.

Take a look at the latest figures. Twelve have died and 54 recovered in Canada. That makes death 18% of final resolutions

Hong Kong 81 deaths, 363 recoveries, death is also 18% of final resolutions. Singapore 16 deaths, 100 recoveries. Vietnam 5 deaths 46 recoveries.

Mainland China's death rate is way out of line of this (65 deaths, 1140 recoveries, 5% death rate) and I'm not sure I believe their numbers. I don't know what to make of the US's numbers at all

I suspect the number of U.S. cases vs the number of available hospital beds translates to a better probability of survival. Personal hygiene tends to be better in the U.S. The U.S. plumbing and sewer systems are also better.
