BREAKING: The first death in the US from the novel coronavirus was confirmed in Washington state, health officials said.

CNN Health’s Jamie Gumbrecht

The US Food and Drug Administration announced on Saturday a policy allowing certain US labs to test for the novel coronavirus using diagnostics the labs developed and validated, even before the agency has reviewed them.“We believe this policy strikes the right balance during this public health emergency,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Stephen Hahn said in a statement.

The CDC said its goal was for every state and local health department testing for coronavirus by the end of next week.

Whe was the first death from the flu this year and how many deaths from the flu so this year....what you say....'not news worthy'

Trump informed everyone it was a woman.looks like he's really up to speed.

Americans🙄...Greed will get them first.🙄

Instead of your constant prattle about Trump, WHY DON’T YOU INVESTIGATE the Coronavirus victim’s race, exact age, job and travel timeline, and immunity problems which lead to his death? CoronaVirusUpdate

I hope this is not the end of the world

Wea z cure

Which Democrat killed this man. Surely Trump will know.

The only real victims here will be children

China create the virus-China poison the world-China shift the blame to US. ALL of these are in China's plan.

While today, the coronavirus claimed its first life on American soil, during the month of February, it is estimated that common flu claimed thousands of lives on American soil. Wash your hands! Get your flu shot! Live your life!

CNN IS GOING TO JAIL

The division 3 looks good

Yeah the Democrats have created the coronavirus as a hoax to bring Trump down, they have even killed for it!

I hope the family sues CNN and the DNC.

mehdirhasan Funny CNN uses an Italian shot for his News... I'm afraid very soon you will have yours, unless your clown magician Donald sort this out ;0)

Lotta angry Americans here, hello American reading this 👋 if you think the left is behind all this, then you're dumb :D

And upon hearing of that death, the CNN newsroom cheered in anticipation of blaming Trump...

Shame on Democrats which are politicize Coronavirus!!! maga2020

'There’s a chance that it won’t spread.' --- realDonaldTrump at coronavirus presser FAMOUS LAST WORDS from the imbecile POTUS.

Woman from Kirkland Wa. 3 miles where I live in Redmond WA. Sad news

It’s Here

We about to get The Division irl. See yall in the DZ 😂

I hope someone's keeping a list of the stupid things trump says about this disease. At the top should be, 'It's a hoax'.

A hoax. Right? TrumpLiesAboutCoronavirus TrumpCrash

It's official... It's a Pan-na-nic

Tmraider Why are there 1000 likes to a reported fatality?

But Captain Trump said none of the patients were in serious condition. Could it be that he lied? Shock..

Timing was suspicious as Bernie Sanders voters we're heading to the precints in South Carolina

Media creating hysteria! “The sky is falling, the sky is falling” 💌🙄

Fear mongering, jesus CNN is eating this up.

C'mon warmer weather!!

Was it on a college campus?

Yup by 2021 the population of the United State will be no more

Coronavirus 1 Flu 14, 000 Everyone freak out and be sure to blame POTUS

details would be damn nice. was this an older person? had they been out of the country?

Welcome in the nightmare, my dear american friends! From Yellow zone, Lombardy, North Italy...

mkraju This is sad.

1 out of 327 million . Chicken little CNN .

19 year old, very sad.

'Motherfucka!!' (Samuel Jackson voice)

If the person that died didn’t travel, are we still getting merchandise from China? Cause I already popped the air bubbles that came with my packages 📦 :(

realDonaldTrump if this is fake please tell that to the family of the passed, and then visit the hospital where the rest are quarantined and tell them to just get over it.

This is just 1 of many more to come.

The fear virus is spreading faster than the real virus. Thanks to media.

30,000 people already died from the flu this season...everything in context my friends

But the President said its all a hoax from the left....

But WH people said it's a hoax

I am saddened for the person and their family. People also need to realize even if you don't catch it the implications of our supply chain will be very far-reaching from prescription meds to other things where it will be much like hurricanes only last longer.

mkraju Do we have a Surgeon General?

bettercallsant

It’s too easy to politicize this. Never mind a trump or Bernie. Just be safe

How many people were gunned down yesterday? How many died in car accident? Cancer? Overdosed? 🤷🏻‍♂️

A challenge for the present government.

Listening to him speak is a waste of time. You can't trust anything he says.

Is this a witch hunt or a hoax?

This is serious

Trump’s fault in 3.2.1.

This virus will probably spread like wildfire because no one in this country has health insurance. They'll stay home, not get checked out, and spread it to others. coronavirus

Border states with the most cases. Coincidence? Imagine how many coronavirus cases are still UNDOCUMENTED. coronavirus

New coronavirus case in California is 'evidence of community transmission,' county health officials sayThe Santa Clara Public Health Department announced a third case of coronavirus in the county possibly transmitted through community spread, which brings the total number of coronavirus cases in California to 10 and the total number of cases in the U.S. to 63. when I spoke to them earlier they gave me a number to call, I called the number abs they said to just 'treat it like you would the flu' 🤦🏽‍♂️ we're doomed Again, Coronavirus is seeming like a bioweapon. If countries like China are taking it so seriously as to strictly implement lockdowns on millions of people, this is nothing like the ordinary flu. If USA is making companies make millions of masks, is no flu. Be careful. Is that near San Diego?

St. Louis County set to ban domestic violence perpetrators from carrying concealed weaponsDomestic violence perpetrators and those with orders of protection against them in St. Louis County, Missouri, will be banned from carrying concealed weapons come March, following a County Council vote. The women on the county council voted yes .The men on the county council voted no. Enjoy your guns folks. Who you going to shoot next? Someone's child I am sure. Unfortunately if you want to buy a gun on the downlow for criminal activity, that's incredibly freaking easy to do. And pieces of paper don't halt bullets. On the flipside, this is a step in the right direction.

Suspect in Riverside County cemetery killings arrested in WyomingA man wanted on suspicion of killing three people in a Southern California cemetery was arrested Thursday during a traffic stop in Wyoming, authorities said. Mexican National is my new favorite term of art. 'He has been deported twice. But authorities have not determined his current immigration status' Let me take a guess . . the Mexican national is a criminal illegal alien. See - that's not difficult.
