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.

True that it is has taken a bit longer for the outbreak to occur in the US.
It takes what a week or more for symptoms to start showing for most people?

Yes the avg. incubation time is 12 days  (before you show symptoms).


Also I remember you asked about testing vs infection, and % of such.

Yesterday? (I think) it was mentioned there had been done almost 200k tests in america (like ~195k? or something), and 44k? in new york.

Now it takes about 3-5 days for most to get test results back.

So 3-5 days from now, you can compaire the amount of "confirmed infected" cases in the USA / New York, with then shown infected cases.
That should answear your question.
