...on the other hand some sources say that we don't know how many have had the disease and recovered without ever going to a doctor or making it to a government report.
This would also skew the results. It is either far more deadly than reported, or it is just another bug.

...I am reminded of the libs changing their global warming claims to "Climate Change" so they could get all the folks who thought it was getting warmer and the ones who thought it was getting colder into the same tent.

Re: "I took the number of deaths and divided it by total cases. Are you diving the number of deaths by the number recovered? "I'm dividing Deaths by (Deaths + Recovered). You can't divide by the number of Cases since the vast majority of that populace are still combating the disease. There's no way of knowing what percentage of them will die - could be all of them... could be none of them.

As of this instant, Italy has had 720 cases with an ultimate resolution - recovery or death. That's a good-sized sample from which to draw a conclusion. Of those 720, 197 died. 27.4 percent. If you can think of any reason why I'm not looking at a representative sample of Italian cases, please advise. Otherwise, 27.4 percent is the number and it is TRULY frightening. It would have to mean that Italy has a different, more virulent strain of SARS-COV-2.

South Korea looks similar. King County, WA, looks even worse with 12 deaths out of 51 cases. Not 51 recoveries, but 51 cases. At this point, the very best King County can hope for is a mortality rate of 24 percent.
