Don't you first of all have to offset the infection rate by the time-to-death? I've been puzzling over all these extremely bad estimates we hear, and the only reason for it that I can come up with is that nobody wants to point at the much darker truth.
One study I've seen pinned the median time-to-death after symptom onset at 18 days. Even in Korea you won't get less than a 2-3% CFR with that estimation.
edit: I don't know anything about statistics by the way, please tell me that I'm wrong.
