It does seem very odd that death rates seem to be hard to come by. Am I missing something here?

In order to know the death rate, you have to know how many people are infected. That number is not reliable. Locally, they're saying they may never know.

You are going to get estimates, at best, until this is over. The reason being that you need total number of known cases to compare deaths with.

No you don't. You are talking about the death per infection rate, which can't be determined in the US because we are on the bottom when it comes to testing. Death rate per population per area does not require information on the infection rate. Obviously, it would be best to know death rate and infection rate, but given the pathetically low testing rate in the US, the raw death rate per population numbers are probably the best indication we have.

That rate is published here. I didn't realize you were talking about that one.
