that article is 3 weeks old and 140,000 tested is good, but nowhere near their 51.xx million population.
Any death rate determined with only known cases is going to be so nonsense. Experts have already determined for every known case there's 5 to 10 more unknown cases that will likely never be known unless the person is hospitalized. Realistically, we're probably looking at a .5% to 1% fatality rate which still makes it 5 to 10 times worse than the common flu with a .1% fatality rate so as not to down play it, but it's certainly not the end of the world.

In many rural areas you can only be tested if they think that a positive result would make changes to your treatment....which is the reality in my community. -
