Admiral Brett Giroir, Assistant Secretary for Health and Human Services, provides a caveat regarding early COVID-19 data, estimating a mortality rate between 0.1% and 1%. This figure is significantly lower than previous "expert" predictions of 3.5% or millions of deaths, which Giroir attributes to a "denominator problem" where mild cases go untested. The shift in data coincides with the release of federal emergency funding.
