The death rate percentage is likely misleading due to age and or other health matters of those who have succumbed...

I agree. I'm guessing if you have tested positive and you die you are added to the count.

I read (somewhere) speculation that because so many Chinese smoke, the death rate may be skewed toward the Grim Reaper because of their love for coffin nails.

I read a few days ago a majority of the new (fewer) cases in China had mild symptoms and it was mainly older (men) with underlying health issues that were most at risk...

Some 80.9 percent of infections are classified as mild, 13.8 percent as severe and only 4.7 percent as critical.

The highest fatality rate is for people aged 80 and older, at 14.8 percent.

The study finds that patients with cardiovascular disease are most likely to die of complications from the novel coronavirus, followed by patients with diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and hypertension.
