I imagine the length of time this person has been ill and the delay in starting tracing makes it pretty much a waste of time. Tracing everyone in every place he went to, talked to, touched, tracing every one on the plane that brought them home the same. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google searches also bring back further information which state that the deceased was over 60 and had ‘significant underlying health conditions’.... So... Facts (as they have been reported) Deceased was over 60 Deceased had returned from Italy (at some point recently) Deceased had significant underlying health conditions That the deceased had 'significant underlying health conditions’ could have been the leading complicating factor in his passing, seasonal influenza may have had a similar impact.

Perhaps we should ask who you think isn't hiding data, anyone! We (family) get ill around end Jan-mid Feb every year as a result of the influx of colds and flu over Xmas & NY. This year was worse than usual but we have long since recovered. I'm beginning to wonder whether what we actually had (& recovered from) might have been the subject of this current hysteria?

I do think the figures reported reflect the situation 7-14 days ago given the time for the infection to show, the time to collect the samples and then test them.
