Your fatality rate is flawed. Yes – maybe it is 2.5% for the entire country statistically, but 80% of the deaths are from Ho Chi Minh City. In addition, one of the state run Vietnam Government websites has said that HCMC has a fatality rate of 4.5% or higher — almost twice that of the world average.
