It is likely lower. Many mild cases were probably missed or under reported. So the actual rate is lower.
But keeping the death rate down depends on giving the sickest individuals very intensive care.
If you don't like the idea of putting entire cities under house arrest like China did, the virus might spread quick enough to overwhelm hospitals and cause the deaths of individuals who otherwise could have been saved.
