What's the biggest reasoning the mortality rate may have been inflated for awhile? Lack of testing. Why is there a lack of testing?
No. The reason the number was inflated is because they did not include unconfirmed cases.
It would be impossible to test people unless you just went around daily testing people because 80% of people do not have symptoms. Even among the remaining 20%, most of the symptoms are mild and they do not go to the doctor.
It's unreasonable to think you can test everyone daily. Which is why they don't do it with the flu numbers either. You can use existing data to estimate realistic numbers, just as I did. They added in all the other cases, but they did not and continue to not do that with the coronavirus.

You don’t know the “unconfirmed” number of cases either yet you continually throw out these statistics as if they are remotely facts. There has never been a study that suggests anything other than certain urban areas like New York have had a higher infection rate than previously tested. That same New York antibody test showed that once testing ventured outside the city, positive antibody rates decreased drastically. To suggest that it’s vastly more widespread throughout the nation and that most are immune to it is nonsense. Just because you have the antibodies doesn’t mean you are immune and just because you don’t have them doesn’t mean you wouldn’t be immune for having not contacted it yet. Therefore your “80%” statistic is irrelevant when determining mortality rates or any rate for that matter because there are dozens of cases of individuals getting the virus more than once after remission.
