Iām a big fan of the Johns Hopkins COVID-19 map, with the ability to click on individual states: https://gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.h...

Using the JH dashboard numbers, is the death rate calculated by 3000/(3000+45000) or 3000/89000?

Neither, both would be skewed. That's because death happens after infection and recovery takes longer than death, and the number of cases is growing. What you want is dead/recovered N (28 for example) days after infection, which you will have to find elsewhere.

I personally like the CNN new feed for keeping up on new developments:
https://www.cnn.com/asia/live-news/coronavirus-outbreak-03-0...
I also like the wikipedia articles because of the nice data tabulation:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_outbreak_in_t...
By the way , I'm wondering how much the high cost of the test in the US is responsible for a number which looks (to me at least) suspiciously low.
