M – million, CFR – case fatality rate, calculated as death/confirmed case
*Source: refs. [1,2]. Due to time differences and cut-off hours of each reporting, some case or death numbers may be recorded with slight discrepancies in different reports, news, or publications.
†January 21, 2020 was chosen as the starting date for the comparison table because it was the date both Taiwan and the US confirmed its first, imported case (Japan reported its first case on January 16 and South Korea on January 20).
