As of April 27, around 6.9% of reported COVID-19 cases (globally) had died. The current mortality for known cases of COVID-19 is about 2.3% in South Korea and 3.8% in Germany, countries where there has been widespread testing.

Because many mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 infections go unreported, it is thought the case fatality ratio is lower than 2%, possibly about 1%; but that would still mean that COVID-19 is at least ten times more deadly than the flu, and very dangerous.
