No kidding. China and Iran (if their numbers can even be trusted) are at nearly 4%. While Italy is closer to 7% than 6%
I mentioned yesterday (source was La Reppublica) that Italy is only reporting symptomatic cases, which means about half of them aren’t counted at all, and the death rate is in the 3 - 4% range. Still bad, but not that bad.
(A place like South Korea, or the much-cited Diamond Princess, is what I’m following, as they’re more likely to be capturing all, or almost all, cases.)
