0.5% is a textbook number, not the sorry-the-hospital-is-full number, which has in some places been closer to 5%.

Likely other east Asian countries that are showing slow growth rates will have similarly low death rates due to not overflowing their hospitals: Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore. You're completely correct that the rate is more like 3-5% in Iran, Italy, and probably the US at this rate.
