Confirmed, recovered, deaths, meaning
I am wondering about the exact definition of a few terms that are being used in connection with the COVID-19, specifically in data sets.

I am interested in the data at github specifically in the time series data but most likely my question is more universal:

The data contains three columns, titled Confirmed, Recovered, Deaths. Other terminology commonly used include Total cases, Daily New Cases, Active Cases, Total Deaths, Daily Deaths, ...

Is my understanding of the meaning of these terms correct?

Confirmed, total number of people tested positively until that date (cumulative);
Recovered, total number of people tested positively who are not positive anymore (cumulative). Does this include people who died of Corona?
Deaths, total number of people who died of/with Corona virus (cumulative)
Total cases: same as Confirmed?
Daily New Cases(day) = Confirmed(day) - Confirmed(day-1)
New Infections: same as DailyNewCases?
DailyRecovered(day) = Recovered(day) - Recovered(day-1)
Total Deaths: same as Deaths?
Daily Deaths(day) = Deaths(day) - Deaths(day-1)
ActiveCases(day) = ActiveCases(day-1) + DailyNewCases(day) - DailyRecovered(day) OR ActiveCases(day) = ActiveCases(day-1) + DailyNewCases(day) - DailyRecovered(day) - DailyDeaths(day)
