hokuili - Does that mean 20% died? One in five? Or is it still too early to say? I suspect it is, still too early...
Yeah still too early to say. That number was ~50% when the recovered numbers were first given and has been dropping as the confirmed cases of infection run their course. There is also a suspected large contingent of "mild cases" basically untested individuals with the virus but few if any symptoms, which would also lower the mortality rate. Numbers in China are all a mess (especially with their recent change in reporting standards), but cases outside of China are trending around 1% mortality. Recovered numbers are included on the John Hopkins map.

SA has a quick article on a Hawaii couple stuck on the cruise ship in Japan (which is the largest COVID-19 cluster outside of China). Hopefully their quarantine will wrap up in 6 or 7 days and passengers with health issues at risk from infection are being offered the option to disembark and spend their remaining time in a quarantine facility on shore.
