It's much more complicated than that and anyone stating decisive numbers is full of it. On one hand you've got the number of cases in the wild probably being higher than the confirmed cases, on the other hand there is a 1-3 week lag between people contracting the virus and death, so you can't really claim it's a low percentage until people are recovering. It will be weeks/months before the numbers start showing the true story.
Currently South Korea is the biggest source of optimism, it's only killed 0.5% of cases there, but the also only have 30/4000 that are recovered.
