Once you make it to the inflection point or at least go on long enough, say in a week or two, then you can approximate by dividing the two together.

But no, go back 3 or 4 days and then divide. That should give you an estimate in the ballpark.

I just the did the math. I went back 4 days and made the division. And you get 3.4% which matches the WHO number.

It also validates my model that estimates 1 week between onset of symptoms and death. This is a lot more accurate than most academic estimates that I have read (which tend to be between 10 - 14 days).

Doctors just can't do math. Luckily, I am an engineer.
