Coronavirus fatalities: World Health Organization figures disputed

The World Health Organization says only 3.4 per cent of the total number of people who contracted the virus have died from it.
But this figure is being disputed.
Some health experts believe the number would be much lower if more people were tested.
Al Jazeera spoke to a Wuhan resident who barely had any symptoms and did not even know he was infected until he was tested.

Al Jazeera’s Katrina Yu reports from Beijing.

You can't be asymptomatic if you have few symptoms, only if you have zero symptoms. A few symptoms means you have a mild infection. Not the same as asymptomatic.

Who are making the test kits? Are these reliable? What if the test kits are misinterpreting the cold or flu virus as corona virus?

Easy for the Chinese to say, "Oh we've made a big mess but it's not that bad!"

What about the doctor who first warned about the virus? he was young and healthy and died along with many others. So it's not just the old people that die so don't lie

Hmmm, so the title is suggesting that WHO’s number is disputed because of asymptotic infections?
