This is not the right way of counting it.
If it takes 40 days to be declared fully recovered, the recovered number is going to stay low at least 40 days (even though the people on their way to full recovery will most likely survive), while the death number will be increasing from the pool of people which became infected later.
To count it properly you need to follow what happened to people infected at the same date.
