Case fatality rates are, of necessity, calculated from the number of diagnosed cases. They are not calculated until all cases have resolved, which is impossible to do while the pandemic is growing.
It looks to me like a lot of people are hoping that Covid-19 has already spread throughout the population, and that it is only causing a tiny number of cases. This is wishful thinking. The virus recently emerged—no one has ever had it before, and the hope that it is already widespread and not very serious is not founded on any data.
