BREAKING: Three more people in Washington state have died from the coronavirus, health official say. The deaths bring the total in the state and United States to five.

Commuters wearing protective face masks wait for buses at a stop in the Central Business District in Beijing, Monday, March 2, 2020. China's manufacturing plunged in February as anti-virus controls shut down much of the world's second-largest economy, but companies are confident activity will revive following government stimulus efforts, according to two surveys.

At the same time, the virus popped up for the first time in New York, Moscow and Berlin, and clusters of the disease surged around the world. In the U.S., health officials announced four more people died, bringing the total to six, all in Washington state, where researchers said the virus may have been circulating undetected for weeks.

Around the world, the virus reshaped people’s routines, both at home and at work, from the millions of Japanese schoolchildren facing four weeks without class to special voting booths for Israelis under quarantine. Mobile hospitals were planned in Iran, and the “Mona Lisa” hung in a vacant room of the shuttered Louvre in Paris.

Malaysia, Tunisia, Senegal, Jordan and Portugal were among the newest places to detect the virus. More than 60 countries, including nine of the 10 most populous, have reported infections. South Korea, with the worst outbreak outside of China, said it recorded 599 new cases Monday, bringing the total to 4,335. The death toll rose to 26. To cope, the country said hospitals will be reserved for patients with serious symptoms or preexisting conditions, with mild cases now routed to other designated facilities.

“We also did our best but weren’t able to contain it fully,” said Lee Man-hee, the 88-year-old leader of the Shincheonji church, which some mainstream Christian groups reject as a cult.

Don't make sense! Ok, so if ya can't even touch your face than ya have it. So if ya have it than why wouldn't ya be able to touch your own face in t he first place

This Corona Virus could be a result of one of the most mass extinction of a species since the dinosaurs! Us!!

This is Washington, not the photo on the article

Why don’t they treat coronavirus like Ebola & everyone will be safe

TRUMPLESS 2020 MATA Make America Trumpless Again 💯💯🖕

More than 14,000 have died from the common flu this flu season. Quit feeding the panic.

What happened in Washington? How can the virus go undetected? Was it in a particular group of people?

DonaldJTrump is this still a hoax we should ignore?

Don't bother to tell their age, previous health conditions. Looks like making sensation out of nothing.

They have the cure. Not prying or butting in. THIS will be over a bit into April the 1st. Just pray and trust GOD and POTUS.

Isn’t Washington one of the states that has essentially de-criminalized intentionally infecting another person with HIV? If elected politicians in this state & the people who vote for them don’t care about this, how long before human lives don’t matter at all?

There are 6 deaths.

Lauran_Andrews

How many were in the Nursing Home? Just curious.

Maybe you can speculate the real infected numbers by using the 1% death rate. Besides, over ten thousand people died from the flu in the US, there may be coronavirus cases in that statistic

BREAKING: The flu kills thousands per year. Corona has a lot of catching up to do.

They were in their 70's and 80's and had underlying health issues. *They were all in the same nursing home

What are their names, pics, I think they are liars

Who? Names please. Ages etc

BREAKING NEWS: 74 total deaths this flu season in Washington

BREAKING NEWS: almost 20,000 Americans have died from the flu in the United States.

How many died in Chicago last week?

fakenews

numbers show a 3% death rate (most with health issues) & evidence of most self treating with recovery - experts are now stating China understated the infected rate thus this coronavirus is comparable to other novel viruses concerning its threat to the public

Um....

Name them. Otherwise it’s all part of the coronavirushoax.

And 10k plus have died from the common flu since January 2020 🙄 TheMediaVirus

MaddowBlog The only way as of now to keep up with the numbers, will have to be though Social Media. The WH is shutting off the CDC, to report it.

Let's wait for the results of the autopsies before dashing into complete hysteria mode. We can't trust the press.

Politics has so infested bastions of liberalism like Washington State, one must be skeptical of anything any of their 'officials' report...

Donald's plan seems to be get as any people sick as possible, declare an emergency and cancel the election.

Is it it really FROM the coronavirus? Is anybody actually dying from it, or is it the following congestive lung infections that some people get?

DO YOU REPORT THE MILLIONS WHO DIE FROM THE REG FLU DAILY ...OH OKAY ......

MarthaSugalski Are they from the same facility? Are they all 50+ yrs old? Did they each have preexisting or high risk conditions?

Get treated at first signs of the virus. It’s too dangerous to leave alone

Excellent news. Now spread to primary voters lmfao. The cure to globalism is just 1 cough away

Why do all your preview images about coronavirus in the US prominently feature Asian people? 🤔🤔🤔

Could be the Chinese illegals crossing in from mexico.

But Trump said it was contained. 🤪

6

By the time you finish writing the headline the number goes up.

The credit for the coming public health catastrophe lies squarely with trump and the GOP for eliminating the pandemic response team and defunding CDC and NIH. Lives will be lost because of their rejection of science.

I wonder why so many getting infected with covid-19 in Washington, California and Oregon? 🤔

Some hoax, trump!

Washington state health authorities now say six people have died from coronavirus.

wsoctv They need to start investing in mailing out CoronaVirus testing kits to every home in the world as a precaution and accountability. Take it from there. Coronavid19

This virus doesn’t only kill the old & sick. Worldwide it’s hitting young people hardest. Also it’s about 10,000 x deadlier than the seasonal flu & there is no vaccine. Protect yourself & stay home when at all possible. And don’t listen to Trump or his supporters. They lie.

It's been minutes.

The Pres says it’s safe so we are good

juliettekayyem Aaannnnd, now watching the news conference live, they are reporting 6 deaths.

MaddowBlog What were their ages? Did they already have health issues?

Trump: Close the border with mexico

SJI2783 I just read earlier that the cases in China have increased again in the last 2 days.

Credit goes to China 🤣😂

lies.

Why was the CDC press conference cancelled today?

El Virus es mutante, que ha sido difícil sintetizar una vacuna, de su estructura química?

Nursing care facility

trumpcoverup

Pretty dangerous hoax. Image how many would die if it were real, realDonaldTrump ?

There was a study that was recently released that suggested the virus may have been spreading in Washington state for as many as 6 weeks

So it's been spreading there for weeks now.

try to tweet some of the promising NEWS about the cure and Vaccinations or Labs... other than just giving deaths numbers. sham deport

How many people have died of the flu in King County since December KCPubHealth?

maggieNYT Pairing this tweet with the image and story about China sure is something.

If we find that it is more elderly people, we need to be more proactive with that age group with a better quarantine and antivirals.

What do we know about the victims?

maggieNYT

You mean, the flu. This is starting to sound a lot like fear mongering.

Panic!!!! Wait til the liberal elite start losing money, the news will change.

MaddowBlog What’s the age of those people?

can you please refer to it correctly as COVID-19 in the tweets

We're still months away from when Democrats would have noticed if Trump wasn't president.
