> Especially for mortality rates where the US is currently doing better than most large developed countries

That's to be expected, because deaths lag behind infections by a week or two. [1] and we know the US was a couple of weeks behind Italy and Spain in their infections blowing up.

We'll have to wait until a couple of weeks after peak infections before we can see the true mortality rate in any given region/country.

True, and for overall infection rates as well, but the headline talks about the current situation and is misleading.
