The Diamond Princess cruise is like a natural data lab. Closed off environment to see exactly how many of the infected would die. Literally best evidence of mortality so far.
>697 tested positive
>Out of this 8 died
>All 8 deaths were over 70 years of age
>Average age on board was 58
>33% of passengers were over 70
>14 people remain in critical condition
>Another 30 were once in critical condition, but have now improved
Basically, in a ship where 33% of the passengers were above 70, eight people died. All deaths were over 70. Most of the infected didn't even have symptoms.
We are literally gassing our economy for this flu. The optimal strategy would be to do mandatory testing, and quarantine the infected. Instead we are implementing a far more harmful, comprehensive shut down which is going to affect millions for years to come.
