As far as I know, no cases yet.

Up to you, whether you believe that or not.

But according to what I have read so far, I think it is still zero.

I think Korea has the highest number of cases outside of China.

The death rate there is about 0.5% vs 4% in Hubei where Wuhan is.

The increase is from a large religeous group who were infected. There’s a link here somewhere.

Many of that total are still infected. They haven’t recovered yet.

Watching that death toll over the next two weeks will tell a lot about the real mortality rate.
