But the death rate of REPORTED cases of Covid-19 is very high. You cannot dispute this. Even if you do not take into account the USA, it is very high. It is 21% worldwide, and that includes China's likely fabricated numbers & South Korea's numbers which included a large portion of asymptomatic testing.

Death rate is a stupid number because you are presuming outcome based on test given to people who are almost certainly very ill to receive the test. Most of the test have been administered to severely ill people, do you not understand that?
