Original Note:
The figures quoted are estimates of "case fatality rate" (CFR). This is highly dependent upon the denominator (cases) and cannot be used to estimate "mortality rate" due to a virus, as we do not know how many infections become "cases". https://www.ispionline.it/en/publication/covid-19-and-italys-case-fatality-rate-whats-catch-25586 https://towardsdatascience.com/why-testing-completely-skews-coronavirus-case-fatality-rates-c7cbf53ac4c8
