Yes, SARS-1 and SARS-2 (Covid-19) are more similar than not. But debating IFR, CFR or R0 with the testing data we have is pointless.
You can learn a lot about the nature of SARS-1 by reading about the 2002 warzone in Toronto hospitals, which wiped out whole ICU teams. Sounds just like corona today in Italy or NY.
