Because the figures of cases/deaths from first wave to later waves clearly show that most cases were not diagnosed at all in the first wave. Probably by a factor of well over 10. Even now in the UK, the chances that they are even diagnosing half of their 50000 a day in their current mayhem is pretty slim. The only figures on death rates that you can trust will be those out of the 200 plus cases currently maturing in VIC and NSW. It is probably one of the only times globally that most cases have been identified, and not a great statistical sample. There are 2 people in hospital out of the 200+, none in ICU let alone being ventilated.
