A case fatality rate can only be calculated for people where you know the outcome. At the time I wrote that, 9 people had died and one was considered recovered. That's 90%. You could have a million more people sick with it at the same time, but until you know whether they survive or recover, it doesn't factor into that statistic.

When I wrote my post yesterday, there were thirty-something cases reported, so if you're seeing 60 cases in the press today, that's almost a doubling in less than a day.
