"Internationally, approximately 31,479 confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV, and 638 deaths have been reported – a 2.03% fatality rate."

"A high number of men have been infected, and the reported mortality rate has been approximately 2%, which is lower than that reported from other coronavirus epidemics including severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS; mortality rate, >40% in patients aged >60 years)5 and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS; mortality rate, 30%).6 "

Australiens hälsoministerium kan ju ha ett intresse av att lugna ned. Den andra artikeln talar om reported mortality rate.
Rekommenderar alla att läsa artikeln på QZ. Inte alarmistiskt på något vis, men förklarar pedagogiskt och lättläst varför det är alldeles för tidigt att försöka sig på att räkna ut dödlighet.

Citat:
The bottom line is that there are lots of factors that complicate the picture beyond simply dividing the number of deaths by total confirmed cases. What cases are diagnosed? Are mild cases being undercounted, so that there’s a disproportionate number of severe cases in the total count? How much time on average elapses between diagnosis and death? Is there a delay in reporting deaths? Until there is sufficient information to answer these questions, it’s dangerous to conclude the deadliness of China’s coronavirus.
