You’re right, adding deaths+.1*serious the way I did seems incorrect. But, since not all of the serious cases have recovered yet, that would seem to imply that the serious:deaths ratio is worse in the Diamond Princess than it is in China, which would be pretty strange. It’s not clear to me that the number of serious cases is as up to date as the number of positive tests.
Hang on, maybe I’m being stupid, but I don’t get the 3.6. Why not say 36+4=40 serious/critical cases and the 10%=4 of them have already passed away?

So, widen the error bars some more I guess?
