RE the thread title, “perception is reality”.
At the rate Americans are becoming fat bastards, eventually thin people will be monikered, and labeled “person without size”

60,000,000 = Total Italian Population
74,386 = Total number of confirmed cases
16,865 = CV19 cases requiring hospitalization
7,503 = CV19 hospitalizations that ended in death
7503/74,386 = 0.1008657543086065 mortality rate.
74,386 = Total number of confirmed cases

Italy could have millions infected with COVID, we just don’t know.
Assuming the above is correct, your estimate is likely off by several magnitudes.
Germany has done the most testing of any nation and their COVID-19 fatality rate is about 0.3-0.5%. Even with that, people that do not display symptoms are typically not tested.

tl;dr nobody actually knows this number and any claim by anyone to know the death rate of a disease that goes asymtomatic as often as corona does is mere conjecture.
