I've been using this website for the US/Canada. It seems to update more frequently and gives some better historical data than the Johns Hopkins map does.

The mortality rate should be calculated as the total deaths as a percentage of everybody infected total confirmed
I saw in another post here that it should really be total deaths / (total deaths + recovered) since the confirmed but not resolved cases could still go either way.

Yea, I was thinking basing it off "total recovered" wouldn't count those that are infected and haven't died, but might. the denominator would have to be "total recovered + total deaths", though. I...
Yea, I was thinking basing it off "total recovered" wouldn't count those that are infected and haven't died, but might. the denominator would have to be "total recovered + total deaths", though. I messed that up. but, also, it'd make more sense to do a per-region mortality rate, I think.

If we takeedit: nevermind. I think.total deaths / total recovered(7893/80840 ~= 9.8%), does that give us a better idea of mortality rate?Oh, this comes from The Lancet, by the way.

Pondering that in this comment. I'm very amateur. Just trying to consider things.
