The real Death rate today is 6,08%, still decreasing and it could top a constant around 5,5%. (I have calculated it by the derivation, topping 5,6% around March 08)
Stop being in the deny, I know it is hard to admit such an insane death rate but it is the truth.
It is that simple : once you are sick, only TWO possible ends : you die or you recover, everything else based on total cases is just bullshit anti panic info.
