this is not up to the standard of investigative journalism.

the mortalilty rate is not taking into account the asymptomatic. if you do, that rate drops to 0.25%. the fact that most epidemiologists and journalists are avoiding this fact, leaves me dubious as to the reality of the situation.
If you're asymptomatic you aren't sick yet. Actual cases is a more logical base. As WHO has noted, the risk of catching COVID-19 from someone with no symptoms at all is very low.
asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic are not the same. usually those classified as asymptomatic in statistical analysis will never present. the question remains what percentage of those asymptomtic in the testing done on the street will actually present.
this begs the question that maybe a better understanding could be had by finding a different metric. how about deaths per 100,000, like other afflictions are commonly done?
