Did we miss the chance of going deeper on the Diamond Princess? Maybe a full, in depth check on everyone in the ship would be the ideal approach.

  Everyone on the Diamond Princess was checked. That's why it keeps being cited as a closed population with statistically valid sampling (100%). It's the re-projections from that ship onto the age range of the general population that yields low fatality rates comparable to flu.

Using old data that misses fully half of the deaths so far... (and there are still people in serious condition). For SARS resolved CFR was a more accurate estimator at all points in time: https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/162/5/479/82647 https://academic.oup.com/aje/article/162/5/479/82647
