Bottom line, more severe endpoints would take more time to gather. Deaths, specifically, are so low right now they might not be significant.

I imagine it’s difficult to determine whether someone has been infected given the short lived and unproven nature of the antibody response. Symptoms, on the other hand, can be self reported.
