I read it a different way.

We know 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.

So 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.
