You don't understand basic stats, do you.
You DON'T COUNT "cases". You count RESOLUTIONS. You do that because you don't know the resolutions of those cases, because by definition they have not happened yet. Therefore by including them as "not-died", you're making the grand ass- - - sumption that ALL (100%) of those cases, of which there are over 260,000 worldwide and well over a thousand here, will ALL recover. And that's absurd. You can't mix a known with an unknown.
OF THOSE THAT actually HAVE recovered, worldwide, 14% of them (at the moment) have died. Compare that with China's 4-5% noted above. Why that discrepancy? Because China has had the most time to recover. That mortality rate for us is currently down to 33.6%, specifically because time has allowed Recoveries to catch up Yesterday that same rate was up around 70%.
It takes roughly two weeks of social distancing/isolation to even slow down the infection rate. China, which has had much more time than that, shows twenty-two times more Recoveries than Deaths. We still have twice as many Deaths as Recoveries. Neither of those numbers is finally settled, and WILL NOT BE until all active cases are resolved.
PLEASE show us all any reliable source stating a 62+% fatality rate.
You can't because you LIE. Why? Only you know your nefarious goal. Not one source, not one. Run along, the sky is NOT falling.

U.S. COVID-19 Fatality Rate Steady: About 1 Percent

Our fatality rate is thus significantly lower than the global rate of 4.1 percent (10,080 out of 248,098). The U.S. number is comparable to South Korea’s 1.2 percent (100 deaths out of 8,652 cases). It is markedly better than Italy’s staggering 8.3 percent fatality rate (3,405 out of 41,035), the U.K.’s 4.4 percent (144 out of 3,269), and France’s 3.4 percent (372 out of 10,995). By contrast, we seem to be doing worse than Germany, which had lost 44 people out of 16,626 reported cases (a 0.3 percent fatality rate). I do not put much stock in the numbers out of China and Iran, whose regimes are not trustworthy. China is almost certainly lowballing at 4 percent (3,248 deaths out of 80,967 reported cases); Iran’s eye-popping 17.7 percent fatality rate (3,248 out of 18,407) is so astronomical, even compared to Italy, that I’m skeptical (though Iran is a troubled enough country that it could be reasonably accurate).

Spikes in reported cases are disturbing, and the death count is heartbreaking. Let’s keep our eye, though, on the fatality rate.
