That also doesn't account for the exponential growth in number of cases; the people dying now are out of a much smaller cohort of confirmed cases in the past.

Deaths / (Deaths + Recoveries) would be more like it, and that's a scary number.

That's a very good point; unfortunately the WHO doesn't have a "closed case" statistic that I can see.
