Whoops - forgot to help you with your math.
You wrote: “You misstated the CFR. The number you gave is the Deaths-to-Cases Ratio which includes unresolved cases. The CFR is currently (150 dead)/(150 dead + 106 recovered) or 59% at this time.”
The Encyclopedia Britannica disagrees:
“Case fatality rate is calculated by dividing the number of deaths from a specified disease over a defined period of time by the number of individuals diagnosed with the disease during that time.”

Hope this helps?
“Case fatality rate is calculated by dividing the number of deaths from a specified disease over a defined period of time by the number of individuals diagnosed with the disease during that time.”
For a historical data set. It is meaningless to include the unresolved cases. That’s why the Deaths-to-Cases Ratio exists.
From Wikipedia:
“A CFR can only be considered final when all the cases have been resolved (either died or recovered).”

Incidentally, the Wikipedia article actually lists the Britannica definition you provided among its citations. I’m sure if some epidemiologist looked at the Wikipedia article and saw a problem he’d submit a correction. Yet it remains the same since the last time we had this debate. Certainly it could be that the whole epidemiological world is wrong and you are right, but I doubt it.
