    What is confusing is from WHO is the different #'s bandied about re fatality rate...ya hear between 1-3-4%....some even lower

    Yet when you look at this data set when you calculate the % on total cases v deaths you get ~4.8%

    But when you look at the Closed cases and really...that's all that really matters...measuring those who have gotten better or died...that % is now 19%
    and back a few weeks ago it was 15%

    What do you all make of those #'s?
