Why do you think 182,000 people in iceland have the virus?
They only have 316,000. They tested 10%, or 31,600.
Of those, 1600 tested positive.
Meanwhile, ofcthose that were tested and found positive, 7 have died.
I presume that others have died, and those may or may not have the virus. If you assume they test everybody who dies, then i suppose you could speculate that 31,000 total have it, and the death rate is .04%, but i imagine the truth is closer to .4%,
And 7 deaths is too few to give a firm number, one more or one less would skew the numbers.
Note that iceland is reporting 8 deaths and about 1100 positive tests, which seems to ignore this random sampling.
