This article is probably accurate or possibly even a lower % than it reports.

My niece is 5 year old and came down with all the symptoms of COVID-19. She came in close contact with a relative who definitely had the virus. She is recovering well and has no elevated temperature for 2 days.

The doctor said that she did not need to be tested as she was required to observe the quarantine regardless and that any treatment he would prescribe would not be altered whether she tested positive or not.

Chances are there are MANY cases such as hers that would significantly effect the mortality figure.

So once again conservatives are right to see COVID 19 with a ton of perspective, and liberals are wrong for calling for the end of the world.

"...any treatment he would prescribe would not be altered whether she tested positive or not."

Clearly the driver for an individual.

In the interests of other individuals, more testing is currently indicated.

sorry to hear about your niece...hope she is okay....

but you're right ...many people have probably been exposed, had the virus, never got tested...happily, we have a very good recovery rate...
