Info continues to trickle out of Iran...transmission to healthcare workers is always concerning.
If you take confirmed cases and cases of those that died you get a fatality rate of a little over 29%. That’s as of this morning.
EDIT: decimal point in the wrong place. 2.93% Thanks to Forsyth for pointing that out.

Not the numbers I'm seeing from today: 3000 dead, 87,000 cases = a 3.4% death rate. Either you've got a different numbers on a different source or your math is a little off.
Decimal point was in the wrong place. Thanks for pointing that out.

The rapid slow down in cases in SK is good news in a country with so many people. Starting to wonder again if it's not as contagious as thought.
I’m back on the east cost after spending a week in Clackamas county OR and flying out of SeaTac, which is located in King County WA. Am I a little nervous, yes. Did I buy N96 masks a month ago in bulk and fail to bring any, yes.

I may be wrong but I thought South Korea had been reporting new cases twice daily. I wonder it that total is for 24 hours because they reported over 800 new cases yesterday. If not it is a big drop off.
South Korea does indeed update twice daily. The 210 new cases are the afternoon update. So the new cases today altogether from SK is 586.
It's not rest just the drop off although 300 less cases is really good, it's the fact that in another heavily populated country we are not see exponential growth. That is huge combating this thing.

Since SK is so bad right now, North Korea must be even worse. Sad to think how awful it probably is in that country.

A concerning thing about all the new cases that have been found here is they are only found because they are in critical condition. How many are not as sick and aren't being tested?

How many health care workers were exposed before they knew these people were infected?
