It's the figure of deaths in china / verified cases -- and we know that the verified cases is low. In any case, I'll just go with The New England Journal of Me

  So far China has around ~3,000 deaths on ~80,000 cases. 3.75% What are you trying to refute about that exactly? Those are China's reported numbers. Online spook? I have no idea what you're talking about. Your only alternative is to say, flat out, that China's figures are wrong / a lie (Which figures though - deaths? Cases? Both? Is the mortality rate even higher?). And once you do that, we can all just start making up numbers at will.

    Here's an amateur rejoinder: It's possible, if not probable, that the infections have actually spread far more widely than what has currently been detected. Those wider cases may have been almost entirely silent, and resolved without significant incident. If that's true, then the actual rate of fatalities (or even serious cases) might be a lot lower than first thought. The truth, of course, is that currently no one really knows at present. Right now we have educated guesses at best.
