That percentage is far more in line with WHO to be fair and no where near the 60% which is utterly bonkers.
Sorry mate but I don't know how to explain better than I already did especially because English is not my first language, not even the second one , I will try though.

MR = TD (total death) / TC (total cases)
TD = TAD (total persons already death) + TWD (total persons who will die from the active cases).
MR = TAD / TC only if TWD = 0

I really hope I'm wrong and you're wright
