Not quite correct...in general both are true, but the deaths/total cases is a % that tends to grow, now is 3.2%, instead the deaths/closed cases is a % that tends to decrease, now is 9.8%.
At the end of the epidemic these percentages will be the same, so nowadays the best mortality rate is given by the geometric mean, which is around 5%.
