The percentage is from confirmed cases. For many many people, corona infection has none or very mild symptoms, and they aren't even tested. Since we don't know the actual number of sick people (which can only be estimated, with some estimations talking about several times more patiences then confirmed cases), the actual percentage is unknown.
- maxerickson 7y agoYes, I wrote 'identified infections' and spoke of the general magnitude rather than using the 3.4% from the WHO. In South Korea, where testing criteria are relatively broad, the death rate for the positive test group is over 1% (100/8700).
