1% death rate is based on all of the 10-20% of patients that need respirators getting respirators. China was able to send medical aid from all their provinces. Italy has been spreading the load as well - and had a closer to 5% death rate. I strongly suspect that the death rate will climb sharply once bed space is full. Note that patients that need respirators need them for 3 weeks. The idea of "hidden" mild cases seems to be fairly bogus as well. The WHO verified China's infection count.
