The better marker right now is total deaths per day from COVID. The percent
of deaths relative to infections probably won't ever be a truly accurate or reliable statistic. Certainly not any time in the near future.

The US death rate keeps creeping up. Now at 1.5%

Once again, we cannot know the death rate without the infected rate, which is not available because of limited testing

We will end up well below 1% imo

Fair point. I just felt better when it was less than 1% a few days ago.

Plus there remains some question as to the accuracy (sensitivity) of the test.

Death rate of people tested. Most sick people can’t even get tested so far.

Yup. My MIL has all the symptoms, but they won't test her

True, but most sick people haven’t had time to die yet. In most countries so far

This is a meaningless statistic at this point. It’s probably not worth worrying about until we have much better testing

I’m actually surprised the percentage is this good considering the testing
