If it's true that many individuals who contract it are asymptomatic or only have mild symptoms, then that could mean (a) the number of cases are vastly under reported, but (b) the mortality rate is artificially inflated. Pastries for thought.

Donald Trump: (02:00)
As most of you know, the level that we’ve had in our country is very low. Those people are getting better, or we think that in almost all cases, the better they are getting. We have a total of 15. We took in some from Japan. You heard about that, because they are American citizens. They’re in quarantine, and they’re getting better too. But we felt we had an obligation to do that. It could have been as many as 42. It was just an obligation we felt that we had. We could have left them and that would have been very bad, very bad I think, American people. And they’re recovering. Of the 15 people, the original 15 as I call them, eight of them have returned to their homes, to stay in their homes until fully recovered. One is in the hospital, and five have fully recovered. One is we think, in pretty good shape and is in between hospital and going home. But we have a total of 15 people and they’re in a process of recovering, with some already having fully recovered.
