I'm wondering if smoking prevalence plays a big part.

Fair point. But quality of the healthcare system probably also plays a role here... :)

But age isn't the variable. We've got to take into account access to medical care, clean drinking water, sanitary products + more.

The piece of data I have been looking for: how many middle-aged people require intensive care (mainly oxygen). If hospitals get overcrowded, that would be a good upper limit for mortality among working people in their 30s, 40s, 50s.

0 *official* deaths. Victims may have been misdiagnosed due to testing protocols (like in Valencia, Spain).

The Diamond Princess is interesting - many old and very old passengers but CFR just 0.85%

All fit enough to go on holiday. Everyone tested a few times, hence no mild cases missed.
