Your death count is incorrect. Several deaths occurred after cruise members returned to their home country, and are currently counted as deaths in their home country instead of the cruise ship.

Take for example: 78-year-old man in Perth - got infected on the cruise ship - but counted as a death in Australia.

So I guess that means the 36 serious/critical I pointed out are not necessarily serious/critical at the moment either. Is there an actual place that counts that?

This seems like a very important point, thanks. Many people are pointing at differences between nations and comparisons with Diamond Princess to derive different fatality rates than are commonly mentioned in the media and to point at an "iceberg" of unsymptomatic (and uncounted) cases. It's good to be aware that some of these discrepancies might just be artifacts from the way the data is registered.
