According to the wikipedia's quote of WHO the weighted average mortality rate, which would be across 50 human cases, is 66% in 2006, and 56% across all 194 cases reported since 2004.
But this is of cases that were (a) bad enough that the person went to a doctor [mostly in countries where this is rare anyway] and (b) were identified as something other than "drink plenty of chicken [or plomik] soup, and it will go away in a few days". Is there a report which extrapolates the UNREPORTED cases and estimates the mortality rate from that?
