Here is a link that shows the total tests given. To determine the mortality rate you need to first know how many cases there actually are. It appears South Korea might be the first country to know and their mortality rate could end up being similar to that of a typical flu. Keep an eye on South Korea. Chinas' mortality #s are too high when compared to the rest of the world.
What I see is that when testing goes up, cases go up and the mortality rate goes down. We know who died from it, but we don't truly know how many cases there actually are. If the US actually has 100,000 unconfirmed cases like some suggest then all we are dealing with is a typical flu.
99% of South Korean cases are considered mild and only 1% are considered serious. Of the 1% that are serious we don't know how many were on ventilators or how many people were even hospitalized. For all we know serious could mean a fever over 104.
I believe the history of this virus has not been written yet. We don't know how deadly this virus really is. What I am suggesting is that it is starting to look like it may not be as deadly as everyone thinks. If that's true this is all just a huge waste of time and money. IF it's true.

Except that's not what's happening in Korea.
None of what you stated affects the mortality rate. Quarantines affect mortality, not the mortality rate.
