closed cases:
239,413
Cases which had an outcome:
193,350 (81%)
Recovered / Discharged
46,063 (19%)
Deaths

among those cases that had an outcome, 19% died. The rest are still sick or have not been tested or their test results are not revealed yet, but are and have been added to the list of cases as the results come in. That looks to me like a 19% death rate, and that % has been increasing.
While it's possible that all the world's disease experts are wrong and you are correct, that would seem to be unlikely. Especially given that they're looking at the mortality rate as being in the range of 1%, and you are calling it at 19%.
