Testing is the biggest variable. More testing = lower mortality rate. The alarming mortality statistics from Wuhan and Italy turned out to be extremely high due to lack of available testing and mild cases that were never reported. Statistically there are likely already thousands of unreported cases in Seattle, but nobody can get tested. If you have a fever, people are being asked to stay home and not go to the hospital at all. So they’re not even counted in the official numbers.
