1. Sero-positivity is higher because of false positives, dengue antibodies (?) or survey design. Maybe 60+ age group has lower infection rate.
(See paper for sources/references for these.)
2. Many deaths happened in homes (nobody knew that these were COVID deaths), or were suspected but not registered as COVID+, or were COVID+ at death but the deaths were registered under the comorbidity.
(See paper for sources/references for these)
