It's not an outlier. Germany has even lower numbers despite doing even less than Korea.
Italy and the UK book the death of anyone who died testing positive as a covid19 death. The UK won't release any figures beyond that. Not even hospitalisation data. Studies in Italy show fewer than 15% of those deaths might be specifically caused by it.

In fact the average comorbiditities is 2.7. mean age of death is 79.5 years. Median 80.5.
