So where's the misinformation? You're literally just restating the definition of death rate.

The death rate of every illness is based on the number of confirmed cases and the ones that died, by definition.
It only counts the confirmed cases. You think every one who’s had it has been diagnosed? The only folks tested are the ones ill enough to seek treatment, ie the severe cases. You’re stating that’s the projected death rate going forward. It absolutely is not

That's a limitation that calculating the death rate of any illness has, you can say that about any illness.

Hence, we can compare the coronavirus death rate to the death rate of other illnesses. It's not "misinformation".

Not really. It's cured vs. dead over time.

Disingenuous I guess would be the word. There’s like 20 something confirmed cases in Washington state. If you contract it there are you like 35% to die since 8 have already died? Someone died a week ago and came up a positive. Who knows how long it’s been traded around there and only the critical cases have been confirmed

The WHO calculated it based on over 100,000 cases, not 20. Obviously the larger the sample size, the closer to the true value. And 100,000 cases is plenty of data.

Why’s the death rate in South Korea way lower? Answer: they are the only place really testing anyone, not just the severe and critical cases.
