One interesting thing is that people in their 20s and 30s had a much higher rate of symptoms (80%+) than older or younger people (< 60%).
That’s indeed interesting. This article seems to say that it’s different in young people who tested positive in South Korea.
One point of criticism about the link included under “Diamond Princess data:”
The abstract reads as follows:
Comparing deaths onboard with expected deaths based on naive CFR estimates using China data, we estimate IFR and CFR in China to be 0.5% (95% CI: 0.2–1.2%) and 1.1% (95% CI: 0.3–2.4%) respectively.
This wording to me suggests that the authors think 0.5% is most likely the correct IFR for China’s cases (up to a certain point in time, based on when the paper was written). This is either false, or the authors are making a really obvious mistake. The paper did not factor in that sick people in Wuhan (where most of China’s cases were from at the time) probably had much worse treatment prospects than patients from the cruise ship.
