SK looks like a good back of the envelope proxy for the first world. Id also add... I’m not sure why we, worried internet lay people, really care so much about “the percent”. (Not accusing you of this, just having a thought after your comment). The final rates being quoted are global averages. They are basically meaningless if you’re trying to assess how worried and prepared you, as an individual, should be. Age and access to care (in addition to counting mild cases) seems to be a huge predictor here of severity and outcome. So any given country or community is going have different demographics and health infrastructure compositions that impact the mortality rate reported. What I really want is a calculator that tells me based on age, pre existing conditions, country, etc what my (or my older loved ones) chances are so I know how to react appropriately.
