Not true. The cruise ships have been ideal samples as they have a known number of people on them and it is quite easy to test a large percentage of the sample.
The death rate for the cruise ships has been about 2%. So there isn't some huge number on the ships who haven't been tested.
Still, even at that, they are far higher mortality rates than that of the common flu. The flu has been endemic for a long time and we have immunity to it, this virus is new and we have not developed immunity.
And they had the exact same healthcare, there were beds and intensive care units set up on the ships. They brought on all necessary care like doctors, nurses and beds/ventilation and ICU for extreme cases.
