You can only count Total Outcomes. There are only two outcomes, death and recovery. Number of cases is like number of people in an airport. Until they get on a plane and safely reach their destination, you don't know their outcome.
In the US there are over 2 Million cases. There are 116,847 deaths and 842,006 recovered. Divided the number of deaths by the total outcomes (death plus recovered) times 100 will give you the percent death rate.
EX. 116,847 + 842,006 = 958,853. 116,847/958,853= 0.1218 x 100 = 12.18%.
Florida does not give the recoved count.
