A 1% death rate is wrong, at least by simple view. The following are as of the end of today(7/13/20):
A)Total US cases: 3,479,483
B)Active cases: 1,791,767
C)Total closed cases(A-B):1,687,716 (closed cases defined as recovered plus dead)
D)Total Deaths: 138,247
If I were calculating the death rate, I'd figure it by D/C=138247/1687716=8.19%
