High fidelity stereo sounds so much better in a Coronavirus-free environment ...

The results from Iceland show that 2% is too high. Iceland has tested more people per capita than any other country. They have confirmed 1802 cases and have had 10 deaths, indicating that the mortality rate is probably less than 0.55%. The mortality rate is probably lower than that, since they still only tested about 15% of the population and probably missed some (many?) asymptomatic cases.
Data from places like Iceland (population 364K) are very different in comparison to other places with higher population densities. New Zealand with similar land size is about 5 million. Both these countries are still very sparsely populated in comparison to similarly sized South Korea which has a population of about 50 million.

It is quite possible that the population density can effect the mortality rate. I have seen some talk that the amount of virus that one is exposed to matters. If the exposure is small, the body may be better able to fight off the infection. If one is exposed to a large amount of the virus it can more easily overwhelm the body’s defenses and lead to more deaths. I would argue that in the more densely populated areas, like NYC for example, one is more likely to come in contact with a larger amount of the virus then say, some small town, hence one would expect a higher rate of mortality. With my wife having been to Iceland and my having been to New Zealand, given the population densities in each place, it would make sense, given the thesis above, that the death rates would be lower there on a percentage basis. With this virus, I would be careful reading too much into some of the numbers, as their is a lot we need to learn about it.
