Also, South Korea was around 1%. It's a number that has grown in credibility, unfortunately. I was hoping 0.1%.

It's awful when you consider that losing 1% of the population is the best case scenario.
So our best sets of data are the WHO analysis of Wuhan which puts it at 5.6%. And the diamond princess which gives us a 1% fatality rate. But here's the big catch, those infected on the Diamond Princess got all of the medical care they needed.
And the issue is once our healthcare system gets overwhelmed the rate will shift from 1% up to the 5.6% (And Wuhan could have gotten much worse)
