Global death rate of 3% (it's closer to 7% now) because each country and region will have its own independent mortality rate and it gets averaged out.
Here is a site tracking global numbers.
For the USA there are 866,105 cases and 48,809 deaths. 48,809/866,105 (then times by 100) and you get 5.6% mortality rate.
You must be doing the math wrong

That is not true. It a lie that has stuck 8n hoax circles because it strokes peoples confirmation bias.
The experts agree that the deaths are being undercounted.

But by far the most interesting piece of information shared by Cuomo on Thursday was the outcome of a random surveillance test - the first of what's expected to be many rounds of random testing that the state will be conducting to help aid the response. Cuomo said that out of 3,000 people tested for COVID-19 antibodies, roughly 14% tested positive.
Even more alarming, that rate rose to 21.2% positive rate in NY. If that rate is confirmed via further testing, it would suggest that roughly 2 million NYC residents have been exposed to the virus.
"It changes the theories of what the death rate is," Cuomo explained. “It's preliminary data”…but there are likely more unconfirmed "at home deaths" from the virus, he sad.
