The cruise ships probably give us the best chance to determine the CFR.  I hope that everyone is tested by both RTPCR (now, and if negative in 14 days) and by serology to see if they were exposed and have antibodies.

I wish they'd re-commission them all as floating hotels for people who test positive and need to be isolated from their families.
