Or you could take Boz's word for it.
Meanwhile, what I have actually said, not paraphrasing, is that mortality rates should go down for the following reasons:
1) It is not in a virus's long-term best interests to kill a lot of hosts.
2) Since many of the most at-risk have already died, by definition, the mortality rate should go down.
3) Health care professionals learn what does or does not work, so treatment and care should improve.
Having said that, to this point, the mortality rate in the U.S. has been more than 4%. As I said, directly quoting, "this is undoubtedly" high, as not much testing has been done, given the population.
The Box likes to paraphrase when he cannot find supportive direct quotes. If he had found supportive direct quotes, he would have used them.
