The USS Theodore Roosevelt situation was discussed here several days ago. At this time about 60% of the crew who tested positive are still asymptomatic. Enough time has passed that we can be confident they aren't just presymptomatic. Numbers are pretty solid since they were all quarantined and tracked. Infection fatality rate was about 0.1%, however that's probably not representative of the general population.

That's something of an understatement - deployed naval personnel are almost exclusively young and healthy, putting them at exceptionally low risk of becoming seriously ill from COVID-19.
The data is valid, at least to the extent that the tests are accurate (there will be some false results). The Navy has openly published their numbers. If they didn't want us to know they would simply classify everything as a matter of operational readiness instead of lying.

Do you think, it seems that not releasing data would be a clear sign they're hiding something - given the public nature of the situation - releasing distorted figures is very difficult to find as you'd need to take a census of sailors ... which the navy/politicians would simply not allow. And the people involved themselves mightn't even notice if the figures were just massaged.
