What's the CFR when you do deaths/(deaths+recovered).

Calculating deaths/cases is very misleading, as there are many people still in the "pipeline"

That number requires you to know the total recovered. With asymptomatic becoming popular from this, hard to believe we know that number. And many reasons to believe total cases is undercounted everywhere. To the point that we are seeing negative effects from skyrocketing numbers due largely to testing increases.
