Some of these potentially lower infection fatality rates are interesting especially when you compare them with the IFR reported in smaller, complete population sizes like February's Diamond Princess fiasco. Everyone aboard was tested and there were 712 cases with the 13th death happening April 9. That gives an IFR of 1.82%.

A particular note with the demographics on the Diamond Princess is that average age of passengers was much higher than the general population, being something like 69. The crew's average age was 36. Older people going on cruises are generally going to be healthier than your average person that age, but that likely doesn't change much since they'll still likely have a comorbidity or two by that point. It also seems to be enough of a difference that, considering how steeply mortality escalates with age, may agree with the Dutch figure.
