Want more COVID cases? Do more tests.
Number of tests and number of cases is highly correlated.
Singapore has a 0.2% death rate. [1]. The conclusion appears that early detection and testing make coronavirus only 2x as dangerous as influenza
Conclusion of death rate variation seems to be that we don't know total infected cases when we don't test. So the high death rates could simply mean that we are not testing many cases that exist, but have mild symptoms. [2]
