A couple of things I’m not sure are correct there though.

The 80-85% mild cases comes from confirmed cases that we know about. They’re included in the current 6.45% death rate from the JH data.

China may or may not be transparent, but if they have an incentive to hide anything, it would be a higher death rate rather than a lower one.

The data is the data. In any case it’s now global and the 6.45% is actually higher than it was before the virus started growing exponentially outside of China (it was 5.7% from this dataset then).
