Yes 2.1 deaths per hundred Chinese (from all causes) is two high - that figure was from the 1960s and they have made great progress since then, but the conclusion that the rate presently due to coronavirus is much higher (than being officially admitted) may be valid since the deaths quoted in Terry's site were for all of China, no just Wuhan.
