Like I was saying, you just completely ignored my post before yours. There is no way we reach such low death rate like 1%, when we have already a sample of real 52000 cases pointing to 5,5%.

How do you counter the argument that that 52,000 cases does not include those with minimal or no symptoms but who still caught the virus? Obviously those with no symptoms aren't included in the death toll (death seems like a pretty significant symptom), but they should be considered in the patient total. 

No, because you don't die in 0,01sec once you get the virus. There is only one way to know : you get the virus, only 2 possible issues : death or recover.

And so far among 52000 closed cases, which is a huge statistical sample, we have 6,1% today.
