But experts say it’s unclear how deadly the virus really is, in part because a large number of cases — including mild or asymptomatic infections — may never be diagnosed. In the United States, New York City has even told doctors not to test most sick people unless they’re hospitalized.

The director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Dr. Anthony Fauci, has put the virus’s mortality rate at about 2%, while the WHO has estimated 3.4%.
