Another death in the ship group, 4 more in South Korea, another in Italy, more in Iran.

These numbers seem significantly different than what we are seeing in Hong Kong and Singapore.

It's still not clear, to me at least, how these cases are being confirmed globally, how widespread the testing is in various regions, or what criteria are being used to administer a test in the first place. Obviously the level of care is very important in critical cases and that varies widely around the world.

Another death in the ship group

Daily Mail article
quote:

Victim is Japanese man in his 80s who was removed from the Diamond Princess

quote:

The death comes after two other elderly passengers, also both Japanese and in their 80s, died on Thursday after contracting the virus.

quote:

On Thursday, two Japanese passengers - an 87-year-old man and an 84-year-old woman - died from the same disease, a week after a woman not related to the cruise ship also died.

4 more in South Korea

The statement said the cause of death for the patient born in 1961 is under investigation and will be announced at a later time.

another in Italy

Lombardy health official Giulio Gallera told reporters Sunday that the victim was an elderly woman from the town of Crema near Milan, who was also suffering from cancer. Two other elderly patients in northern Italy have died over the past 48 hours.
