From (probably slightly misremembered) stats I've seen, it has approximately 40x the hospitalisation rate, but only 10x the death rate of flu So yes, lower hospitalised mortality rate but only because so many more people are hospitalised

  Do we have an accurate count of cases? For example if most cases are determined based on hospitalization, then the hospitalized death rate is the same as the estimated actual death rate. I haven't been able to find studies on the hospitalization rate to know.

Not a useful statistic without knowing the hospitalization rates.
