This data seems quite believable based on what we have learned to date. It's way bigger than what has been confirmed by testing, but way smaller than anywhere near most people having it so far.
If we are already at 1-2k deaths per day with less than 5% exposed, wow. We can only hope that it only takes that few people getting infected to wipe out the most vulnerable, and that as the case numbers grow there will be less deaths as a function of more healthy people being able to survive.
