The mortality rate is up to 20% at 1 year and 50% at 5 years. Despite optimal medical management, overall mortality has not changed in the last 30 years.
That figure is for viral myocarditis, which this arguably is, but there's no reason to think that rate is the same for a virus that's able to self replicate in perpetuity constantly producing cytotoxic virus fragments and for virus fragments that can only be produced until the original mRNA breaks down.
I'm saying there's no reason to equate something like hep-c constantly creating cytotoxic virus bits for the rest of someone's life and mrna that makes the cytotoxic virus bits for a few days. The former is continuous damage over time presumably increasing the mortality rate over time and the latter is a fixed amount of damage and you'd expect the mortality rate to drop over time.

So are you saying it will be lower?

Do we know that the mRNA wears off?
