It seems almost certain with that many dead that more people would have contracted it. Either that or its medical care is shockingly sub-par compared to other countries.
It's the second one. Iran's sanctions has extracted a heavy, heavy toll on its public services including healthcare. Air quality is bad too and many,many many people smoke in the country. It can go real bad real fast for them. Which is partly why bordering nations are closing the borders with them.
Iran alone is in no position to deal with this without many passing away and even m ore being infected. Which is why it must ask the eu for help stat.
Here in Germany it was basically limited to the employees of one company, who had a co-worker from China come in for training. She became sick when she arrived back home and the company was alerted. So they shut down the company and tested the employees that got sick.
All of these cases were contained pretty quickly. If it's spreading in italy it won't be able to be contained to a group less than 50. Especially once commercial air travel starts tomorrow morning.
Been following the other closed thread for weeks so familiar with the details already.
People from first world countries and eu member states should be on alert, but that's about it.

That info will be shared with many, many nations.

Oh fucking please, its managed risk vs using the godamn facts out there. By using the facts as is, verified by agenda free global bodies, this strain of flu like virus is dangerous and serious, but does not warrant panic like some in this thread are displaying. We know the at risk groups, the fatality right is extremely, extremely low outside of china and very low inside of it. we know this fucking this dies easily with follwong best practice hygiene.
This coming from someone who had the bloody swine flu years ago. If anything THAT horrendous experience should have me locking myself and my family in for weeks whilst stocking up for months. But hey, despite living in an Corona virus affected country, me and everyone I know are taking sensible precautions. That's all that one needs to do.
