It sounds like they weren’t tested, but presumed to have the virus.

On the Diamond Princess the death rate is 1.4%, or 14x higher than the flu.

But if you overlay age demographics onto USA population it drops to like <0.2%

That is old data. They are now up to 10 deaths.

No, I missed that last line. In any case, those extra deaths probably explain

Which is why it's ridiculous that people on CB keep asking "why is this worse

Skews old? Don't forget the crew, most of whom "skews" young.
