means that 10k people dying is possible Right now the total deaths and total recovered go hand in hand, therefore it's 50% death rate
And you can't claim it's not unless those 10k unresolved cases become either resolved or dead

not in an ongoing outbreak where vulnerable populations die quicker and the disease takes up to 2 weeks to recover from, not to mention limited number of tests is resulting in selection for more severe cases (milder cases will not go to the hospital)
South Korea is administering more tests, both absolutely and per capita, and thus they have more realistic outcome data: somewhere around 1-1.5% mortality rate after adjusting for the age of people getting infected (in South Korea, it's mostly younger people being infected, it's the opposite in Italy)
