By then you could compare the dead/resolved outside of China. The dead were very low initially, but since have have been growing rapidly compared to recovered - even excluding Iran as a country that probably has no idea what it actually has.

That was also true in China. Remember the days with dead > recovered? Those are long gone now. Recovered is growing exponentially. Dead is rising slowly.

Of course it's China (via Johns Hopkins) so take it with a grain of salt. But there is volatility in the mortality and recovery at the initial stages which will resolve in a few weeks.

I'm not re-running numbers now, it's late. But as of a day or two ago, the Chinese numbers were I think 9.1%. The non-Chinese number was 15%.
