    Some very interesting baseline data on the Diamond Princess cases here

    https://www.niid.go.jp/niid/en/2019-...-dp-fe-02.html

    Many thanks to Chris for sending this link in. As I understand it 5 cases in total have died thus far? Hopefully there will be case severity and similar data that will be published soon to compare this against. What is particularly interesting is the age distribution of passengers and those infected, as well as onset dates. Not as skewed towards those aged over 65 as I had expected.

    Dozens allowed off Japan virus-hit ship have ‘symptoms’ says minister
    AFP -
    February 26, 2020 9:07 PM

    TOKYO: Dozens of passengers allowed off a coronavirus-stricken ship have developed symptoms including fever and will be asked to take tests for the virus, Japan’s health minister said Wednesday.

    The news came as another death linked to the virus in Japan was reported and the government urged organisers of major events in the next fortnight to consider cancelling or downsizing them to help curb the spread of infections.

    The government has contacted 813 former passengers of the Diamond Princess cruise ship and found “45 people had certain symptoms”, Health Minister Katsunobu Kato told parliament.

    “We asked all of them (who have symptoms) to see a doctor and to take tests.”...

    Coronavirus infections keep mounting after cruise ship fiasco in Japan
    By Dennis NormileFeb. 25, 2020 , 11:45 AM

    TOKYO—All but a handful of the passengers of the disease-stricken Diamond Princess cruise ship berthed in Yokohama have disembarked. But for Japan, the saga is far from over. Much of the crew remains on board, enduring another 14 days of quarantine—although this time under conditions that Japanese officials hope will prevent any additional infections.

    But there has been another worrisome development: As of today, eight public servants who worked on the ship to support the quarantine have tested positive for COVID-19, and more may follow. Most of the roughly 90 health ministry employees who visited the ship during the first 2-week quarantine that ended on 19 February initially returned to their normal work duties, but in light of the infections, the health ministry yesterday revised its policy and now those potentially exposed to the virus on the Diamond Princess are self-quarantining at home for 14 days, according to a ministry official who asked not to be identified.
