Plus there remains some question as to the accuracy (sensitivity) of the test.
It may be producing false negatives.

The US death rate keeps creeping up. Now at 1.5%

Once again, we cannot know the death rate without the infected rate, which is not available because of limited testing

We will end up well below 1% imo

Fair point. I just felt better when it was less than 1% a few days ago.

The better marker right now is total deaths per day from COVID. The percent

Death rate of people tested. Most sick people can’t even get tested so far.

Yup. My MIL has all the symptoms, but they won't test her

True, but most sick people haven’t had time to die yet. In most countries so far

This is a meaningless statistic at this point. It’s probably not worth worrying about until we have much better testing

I’m actually surprised the percentage is this good considering the testing

That's just pure fear mongering right now. The real rate is much much lower

You don't know either.

We can say with certainty that the real death rate is indeed much lower

Lol. No you can't. No knows yet. You can hope. But you don't know.

Maybe you should take things slowly for yourself. You need the extra time to think this through apparently.

Dude. You're wrong. People are saying that the REAL death rate is much lower than the current statistics bear out.

I know, with every fiber of my being, that the mortality rate for this disease is much lower than the official tally

You might be right, but he’s got math on his side.

Not necessarily, since the numerator can grow more quickly than the denominator.
