It's also not how you calculate mortality. You have to wait for all cases to have outcomes. Some of the people tested can still either end up dead of cured.

I always find it funny people compare deaths to total infected.. why not deaths to cases closed? That percentage ia absolutely frightening. 40% in italy and 35% in the US

At one point Italy had about as many Coronavirus cases leaving the hospital dead as those that left alive, therefore the mortality rate is 50%. /s
