> the real fatality rate could in fact be closer to 0.06%

If you take a look at Diamond Princess.

~ 4000 on board

* 712 cases

* 10 deaths

Gives a case fatality rate of 1.4%.

The average age onboard was ~60 years (don't know if it includes staff) which is definitely higher than average. However, the two numbers (1.4% and 0.06%) sounds very far apart.
