I assume those are estimates?

I saw an epidemiologist estimated that. I can't find it now. 

Assuming 118 000 people are infected and 11 113 died... I guess they assume CFR is aeround 2-1% so cases are in the millions. (7 millions)

I think looking at one point percentages is a misleading thing (nothing against anybody) - especially during the beginning.  We need to look for trends over time and see the death rate decreasing, increasing, or steadying.  The death:closed case (i.e. recovered + death) ratio was about 50% here in the United States about a week ago, but now it's 38%

Yeah. It's nice to see cases/million people or deaths/million people

Alarmist news at its worst. 

You take much longer to be considered recovered than to die, theres nothing in this statistic that is out of the ordinary. Check other countries, for example UK has 96% of closed cases that resulted in death. Its normal that deaths show up first.

This data means nothing.

84% or closed cases in Ireland have resulted in death. However, that’s because there isn’t enough data to form conclusive results.

Basically, not enough people recovered from the virus yet to prove anything

We're in an election year here in the U.S... why can't we get the people who do polling to do a "random sample" of like 3-10k people to get a truly good estimate of the infected?  I understand I just said "3-10k tests", but I feel this would be for an important purpose...

It would have to include many states and cities and take number of samples proportionaly to their population have have any hope of being even remotely accurately tho otherwise gives the infection can cause clusters... It could be way way off

What did CFR stand for again?

case fatality rate

% doesnt mean anything at the moment until testing is available to everyone.
