I don't understand why the ratio of total deaths to total cases is going up over time in the numbers reported at this tracking website https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries . It was in the range of 4% a month ago and it's over 6% now.
I would expect as more and more people are infected to have the opposite take place i.e. the rate going down over time if the true death rate is around 1% of all infected as some have mentioned. Perhaps the statisticians in this group could explain so that the math challenged (i.e. me) could understand? Thank you.
