> In fact in Vo it was zero. Isn't it a bit disingenuous to use a city with 89 cases as being statistically significant?

  Vo has 3000 inhabitants, it's not a city, that's why they could completely isolate it and test every single inhabitant. It gives a 'random' sample, unlike other testing regimens. The population size isn't that big indeed, but it's still multiple times larger than the cruise ship.

    > Vo has 3000 inhabitants, How can you consider the fatality rate over an uninfected population? A year ago 8 billion peoples were not infected and 0 died! I have no idea why we worry. /s What's matter for the fatality rate is the 89 persons infected, which isn't statistically significant.
