From the CDC:

"but a broad range of 0.25%–3.0% probably should be considered."

But even that isn't really responsive.

The parent said the death rate (without care) jumps from 0.2% to 3% (with care) as if both numbers were known.

An article saying that the death rate (with care) could range anywhere from 0.25%-3.0% seems...like not a solid foundation to make the claim the parent commenter made.
