This week's numbers, I've been gone:

Suspected and Confirmed Case Count: 3069 (137% of last week's)
Suspected Case Deaths: 1552 (126%)
Laboratory Confirmed Cases: 1752 (127%)
Death rate .85 to .51, not changing much. But the outbreak is months old, and the numbers went up about a third in the last week or so, that can't be good.

How does one calculate the death rate from these numbers, which are from the CDC website?

A week ago the numbers were:

Suspected and Confirmed Case Count:         2240
Suspected Case Deaths:         1229
Laboratory Confirmed Cases:       1383
And my question had been, So, is that a.54 death rate, a .62 death rate, or a .89 death rate?
