I believe that to be the case and that is actually a very good thing.  It does two things.  First, it moves us closer to herd immunity.  Once around 50% of the population has been exposed a virus tends to die out as there are no receptive hosts to infect.  Second, it gets us a much better idea of the true mortality rate.  I believe even the last numbers of around .6% are going to end being on the high end.  It will likely still be higher than the flu because of the higher mortality rates with the elderly and people with underlying issues.  But it will end up being closer to the flu than any of the models are projecting.
