That would reduce the death rate, note the infection rate.

How do they know the infection rate unless they are randomly sampling and I haven't read of any country doing anything close to that other than Korea, and it wasn't all the random.

Data from the China CDC shows the mortality rate (not the infection rate) is strongly correlated with age, especially above the age of 50.
