I'm back looking at #coronavirus numbers today and a few things really stick out 
New cases globally down 15.5%, new deaths down 27% - and deaths outside Hubei dwindling to nothing.
But - countries outside China now accounting for a growing number of new deaths (17.5%) and cases (39.3%)

So many countries now it's tough to post in one image. Japan and Korea still accounting for most cases, but middle eastern countries are seriously concerning, as well as new European additions.
What's becoming very clear is :
1. Chinese containment methods are working (with obvious caveats about accuracy of reporting). If this trend continues, we could see more daily overseas cases than Chinese ones within days

2. Looking at middle eastern countries, it's clear this poses a huge threat to underdeveloped healthcare systems. The Current fatality rate in Iran is 16%, indicating either a high rate of death - or more likely - a larger number of milder, undetected cases
3. The South Korea religious group and Japanese cruise ship account for a *huge* number of overseas cases - indicating the virus spreads quickly in some situations, but not necessarily in other public scenarios, where people are taking extra precaution in daily life.
