I suspect it could be as high as 5% when all is said and done. Currently many people compare the deaths to the total - ignoring that roughly 40% of those known to be infected presently have it and some won't make it.

Got to bear in mind also that the death rate % will vary per country, point being I would expect lower % in Western states with better health care and healthier people.
