I don't know where and how the WHO calculated the number. It seems to match deaths divided by infected cases. However, of those infected now some might still die. I think the number could be even higher. If I base my estimations on Italy alone, since I trust their numbers more than those of China. They have 144 deaths and 414 cured. That's a 25% death rate from all 'closed' cases.
A serious thing that the CDC pundits keep hinting at but most people are missing - there’s a huge amount of people who have the virus and won’t show symptoms. Meaning they don’t get factored in the death rates. Theres a sort of survivor bias going on. Death rate can be even less than 1%.
