Iceland mass testing-> estimates 1% COVID+ and 0.25% CFR. Cruise ship data yields similar results. Are these results applicable to wider world?

Ship pop skewed old &largest age group 70-80, some of whom wld be expected to die in this time regardless. Count of infected also underestimated missing people who may have already fought it off (part of IFR). Ship IFR prob < 0.5%https://www.nicholaslewis.org/covid-19-updated-data-implies-that-uk-modelling-hugely-overestimates-the-expected-death-rates-from-infection/ …

I think the link attached is more recent and more thorough. IFR is better than CFR. But, even CFR should be adjusted for avg age as well as probability of death sans Corona (not trivial when dealing w 70+/unhealthy). Also all deaths w comorbidities not necessarily caused by COVID

So basically there is no CFR for the coronavirus. There is a CFR for your age group. And then, really, there is a CFR for your age group + comorbidities. In any case, this study is not saying 0.25%. It's saying, AFAICT, higher than that. Further, people on that boat may still die
