Rachel Maddow is unbearable! She is tied for my least favorite person on a news station.

Well if you don't diagnose and test anyone, you can easily say there are no cases or deaths due to the Bat Virus.

Is that total or for a specific country?
I'm seeing in the 1.5% range total and around the same as well for the US.

Correct, just over 4% for total. Roughly 1.5% for US.
Total potentially inflated by mishandling in China/Italy.
US understated due to how early we are in the cycle. As people's health degrade, it's likely to go up.
On a total level, as it spreads to less fortunate countries, I'd expect higher rates.
Then the obvious tricky part... how much will the availability of testing change the total # of cases. Ultimately, what's the estimate of infected & not confirmed? Most flu rates are conveyed with estimates of infection. Too tough to pin point right now for this.

makes you wonder how many truly died from Spanish Flu when they had even shittier means of tech/communication in 1920.

China is stating 0 new local cases consistently now.
I do not see how that is utterly possible at all unless every single thing is locked down completely with zero people in the community.

China also essentially killed all the whistleblowers to this disease.

1.5% what? Deaths/Total Cases?
That's very misleading at this point because most cases are still ongoing and people haven't been tested and cleared after testing positive the first time.
With "closed cases" you are at 10% deaths vs 90% recovered worldwide (with over 60% of all cases still open).
With the US you are 61% deaths vs 39% recovered (with over 97% of cases still open).
Yes, these numbers will eventually be much smaller, but there are too many open cases to tell what a reasonable endgame statistic will look like.
