Early mortality rates for COVID-19 are likely misleading, experts say.
Dr. William Schaffner, professor of preventive medicine and infectious diseases at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in Nashville, says our understanding of the disease is still developing and the statistics are preliminary.
While some studies peg the death rate to 3.4%, experts expect to see this rate decrease as the health care system starts finding milder cases.

Most COVID-19 cases are mild, and many individuals will never even see a health care provider to be tested.
