As for Italy you will find that in addition to having a much older population than the USA they report ANY death at a hospital with coronavirus as a coronavirus death as stated here by an Italian official:

You will find that (deaths ÷ by confirmed cases × 100) will give you the percentage of mortality. I am one of those people who must use a calculator and that the numbers I posted are correct.

The percentages will be differ by country, any statistics are not final and there are concerns about accuracy in every case. There should be no debate about the seriousness of the virus as any degree of justification for not following the guidelines to minimize the spread of the virus.
FYI, I have found that listening to the press conferences of the Governor of New York to be the most informative, straight forward, clear and blunt perspective.
