basing mortality on only the number of confirmed cases is bad math. the would be like counting drunk driving deaths on only the number stopped and caught.

taking care is one thing but stoking panic is another.
It's the best source of data to give us the extreme upper end of the range at the moment. Is it likely to hold true as more data and analysis becomes available? No. And being at the extreme end of the predictions, it's not likely to end up as reality.

But why cherry pick one number from my post which gives the projections an overall range of 1% to 4.6%?

What would you consider "good math"? What is your suggested range of mortality rates, and what do you base it on?
