It assumes we know the amount of infected people.

We have very accurate numbers for surprisingly large group due to the cruse ship. As of 20 February 634 infected including 328 asymptomatic cases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_outbreak_in_c...

Adjusting for the delay between infection and first symptoms a relatively small percentage of people avoided symptoms.

80% were age 60 or over. Normal is 11%.

People stuck on the same ship 24/7 is not very representative of actual daily life.
