If you think a 2% case fatality rate is low,
compared to the overall cancer rate ( which isn’t just an ageing disease) it is.

However, I was pointing out that is the rate from the recorded cases (approx 5.5M) the actual figure will be 2,3,4,5 + times that. So the actual fatality rate will probably be around 0.5% or less, potentially much less.
