Using the JH dashboard numbers, is the death rate calculated by 3000/(3000+45000) or 3000/89000?

Neither, both would be skewed. That's because death happens after infection and recovery takes longer than death, and the number of cases is growing. What you want is dead/recovered N (28 for example) days after infection, which you will have to find elsewhere.
