Also, a very recent Lancet report calculates global CFR at 5.7%.
CFR (Case Fatality Rate) is based on the # people who were tested. IFR (Infection Fatality Rate) which includes people with no or mild symptoms will be lower.
"On this basis, using WHO data on the cumulative number of deaths to March 1, 2020, mortality rates would be 5·6% (95% CI 5·4–5·8) for China and 15·2% (12·5–17·9) outside of China. Global mortality rates over time using a 14-day delay estimate are shown in the figure, with a curve that levels off to a rate of 5·7% (5·5–5·9)"
