Including the third COVID-19 death outside China in our real-time analysis results in an overall case fatality ratio of 2.2% (95% confidence interval: 0.6%-5.8%)https://github.com/calthaus/ncov-cfr …

@C_Althaus's calculations are for a Case Fatality Ratio, CFR (i.e., for people who are sick enough to seek medical treatment). There is strong evidence that a reasonably large proportion never seek treatment. So Infection Fatality Ratio, IFR, will be lower.
Please note that we consider all reported cases (mild or severe) outside China. Not only those who seek treatment.
