How many days needed from infection till death? 

Depends. In the latest sample from a Lancet report the mortality in a group of 99 was 11% in five to 25 days.

In this retrospective, single-centre study, we included all confirmed cases of 2019-nCoV in Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital from Jan 1 to Jan 20, 2020. Cases were confirmed by real-time RT-PCR and were analysed for epidemiological, demographic, clinical, and radiological features and laboratory data. Outcomes were followed up until Jan 25, 2020.

 

Those would very likely have been the ones with pre-existing conditions, people with well functioning immune system would recover or take longer to die. We don't relly know yet, but the statistics are emerging slowly.

The actual causes of death are also in the article. Once pneumonia overpowers the immune system, death can result from multiple causes, as stated in the article:

 17 (17%) patients developed acute respiratory distress syndrome and, among them, 11 (11%) patients worsened in a short period of time and died of multiple organ failure.

 

This is similar to SARS, but the R0 seems to be higher with this virus.

Deport the infected Chinese (?)  tourists (but don't forget to seize their money for "extraordinary sanitary expense provision".

Of the  13,522 confirmed cases In Hubei   there have been 414 deaths, 1567 serious cases and 576 are critical.  According to Doctors it is more infectious than Sars (one patient infecting another 6) but the mortality rate is less. Most of the patients who are serious or have died were already suffering from serious bronchial disorders or  some other serious problem.  Not surprising given the number of heavy  smokers there. Wuhan has commandeered hotels and opened the exhibition centre for people  getting treatment. They have ordered isolation of potential cases and all travel has been stopped in Wuhan. I left the day before the ban, although the walkthrough i had to do In Bangkok was pathetic. The idea that you get it by being next to a chinese is plainly fatuous. China is a huge country, it is as silly as saying that if someone comes  from California that is infected  then you can get it form people coming form New York.  The huge problem was that it occurred at Chinese new year or just before when people were already leaving (some maybe from the rumours spread by irresponsible Doctors in Wuhan) making the problem  extra difficult.Many of the residents of Wuhan actually come from other parts of China and return home  for the new year, hence the small spread in other regions. see https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/02/the-latest-coronavirus-cases/

and all of that, or at least the majority of it, could have been avoided if the Chinese didn't try to cover up the first discovery early December. A group of 8 doctors were exchanging messages on the Chinese social platform Wechat about the findings of 15 infected people in Whuan, originally they thought it was SARS virus coming back but the Chinese censorship agents afraid of citizens panic decided to arrest them and not make their findings public.... typical Chinese cover up behavior, they can't be trusted...

They spend more than farangs but not on prostitues in bars and going bar to bar with a Chang bottle in hand.

Sorry for the delay in reply to your stereotypical response, do you not think the money gathered   by the ladies offering there services finds its way back to villages to help with education for there children and basics like food, and do you think Chinese men don't participate whilst on holiday, always strikes me strange that so many Chinese holiday in Thailand but you hardly ever see them put there hand in there pocket or be seen sitting in a restaurant, yes in 7-11 buying there evening meal but not spending like the good reliable farangs.
