It's been interesting to see how the mortality rate has played out.  Of the countries with over 5,000 confirmed cases, Germany's death rate is the least harmful at only 0.4%.  Meanwhile, Italy's is way up at 9%.  The United States is at 1.2%

Italy does have an older population, which I am guessing is the main reason for the higher death rate? 

Time is also a factor.

You dont die instantly to this, you lose a battle of contrition to the virus.
That means a like week or two on a ventilator.

Spread wasnt very serious in America a week or two back.
So mortality rates should be lower in america, than say in italy, where the outbreak has been for longer.

However I think maybe mortality rates will be lower in US, compaired lateron.
Why? treatments will have improved by then, and medicine might play a factor.
