Why does John Hopkins say 1.3%?

Head over to worldometers.info

As of now, the US has 685 deaths and 53k cases. So on the surface, this is 1.3% that matches JH number.

BUT the majority of the reported numbers have been discovered over the past few days. Whereas the people who died got sick at least a week ago. So if you go back and check how many people were known to be sick 1 week ago, that number is 4663. Divide the two and you get a very alarming number!

I based my number on the Chinese total, which is in the same ballpark as as WHO's number.
