5. I don't think those numbers represent the actual rate because of limited testing.

In my state they are telling us that the reported cases might represent only 1% of the actual cases (people who get it but have no symptoms or aren't sick enough to require hospitalization). If they are only testing the most serious cases in the first place the percentage of reported deaths will be much higher.
