Right. It takes 3+ weeks to die from CoVID-19, so if they're looking at people who were diagnosed as late as Feb. 11th then this is going to be a substantial underestimate of fatality. Especially since as awareness of the disease has increased, the time to diagnosis after first symptoms has fallen from 5 - 6 days to 1 - 2 days.
