   WHO: #COVID-19 / #2019-nCoV mortality rate higher than previously estimated. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/03/coronavirus-latest-updates-outbreak.html [cnbc com]
   
   "The mortality rate of COVID-19 is significantly higher than previous estimates, world health officials said. Globally, about 3.4% of confirmed patients have died, said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director-general of the World Health Organization. In comparison, the seasonal flu generally kills far fewer than 1% of those infected. The WHO officials said last week that the mortality rate of COVID-19 can differ, ranging from 0.7% to up to 4%, depending on the quality of the health-care system where it's treated. Early in the outbreak, scientists had concluded the death rate was around 2.3%. —Lovelace, Higgins-Dunn"

     I've seen both in the various reports on COVID-19's spread and death toll, so I don't think it makes much difference for ordinary non-medical people. I'm sure there's some definitional details that only medical and public health people care about.

     Or it's simply to let people in the zone where no one is sure of anything and thus no one does anything.
     Mixing truth and lies and lies and truth is one of the greatest methods to halt a group of people of doing anything.
