First US case of Wuhan coronavirus confirmed by CDC

The United States has its first confirmed case of a new virus that appeared in Wuhan, China, last month, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Tuesday. The coronavirus has already sickened hundreds and killed six people in Asia.

CDC officials said the United States will be more strict about health screenings of airplane passengers arriving from Wuhan. The patient, who is not being named, is in isolation at Providence Regional Medical Center in Everett, Washington. He is in his 30s and lives in Snohomish County, Washington, just north of Seattle.

It's not known how many of the cases became infected from animals and how many from another person. On Tuesday, the CDC activated its emergency response system in response to the Wuhan coronavirus. The CDC activates this system on a temporary basis to centralize how the agency monitors, prepares for and responds to public health threats.The outbreak started in late December at an animal market in Wuhan, about 700 miles south of Beijing. The virus can jump from animals to people.

Is that is the Wuhan solo case so far?

The origin of this new virus is confirmed to be from the consumption of wild animals like civet, bamboo rat etc

Heard Democrats are wanting to increase Chinese immigration so we can treat the new virus in this country. As far as impeachment is concerned it is a big Democrat hoax!

This is the result of cover ups and censoring of online conversations during the initial outbreak. CCP has truly no regards of global health and safety in order to stay in power. It is incapable of learning from history - they did exactly the same in SARS

Hey 85 people are killed every day by guns in the United States. Let's all get worried about a virus one person got.

And they just said last week that there is “very little “ chance it will be spread to Americans. But let’s keep letting the Chinese in and see what happens 😡

Holy shit. That’s really close to Seattle .

And so it begins

Outbreaks of Coronavirus typically occur on May 6th.

Dammit!!!

coronavirus W-CoV is associated with MERS-CoV. Most MERS-CoV infections have been reported from countries in the Arabian Peninsula. Therefore reporting a travel history or contact with camels or camel products is very important when trying to diagnose MERS.

لا حول ولا قوة الا بالله !الله يحفظنا

My tweet is in my name.

Please keep in mind that this is not a small problem. You need to wear a medical surgical mask when you go out

After first attempts to treat the virus like most domestic issues, China is now seeking international aid and cooperation.
