A Diamond Princess ex-passenger died as late as March 24. The first patient was tested positive on February 1, and the ship was quarantined on Feb 4, and everyone left the ship on March 1. It doesn't seem unlikely you can die from this virus a month (or even two months?) after testing positive. Or maybe I'm missing something?

Occams Razor would suggest that they may not have caught the virus on the boat then but perhaps after, no?

Why? 23 days for the longest time to succumb isn't surprisingly long. small exposure, healthy person / lucky genes, good medical treatment, but not quite healthy/lucky/good enough.

[gnulinux]

Well the longest possible according to this data would be 54 days. We don't know the identity of patients who died, could be one of the people who tested positive on Feb 1 (or sometime in early Feb).

Given current information, Occam's razor cuts the other way. Unless perhaps that person had another known significant contact.
