(CNN)The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to announce this afternoon that the first case of Wuhan coronavirus has been reported in the United States, in Washington state, a federal source outside the CDC tells CNN.
The source is involved in the matter and was made aware of a CDC media briefing scheduled for later today.
The novel virus, which was first identified last month in Wuhan, China, has so far infected more than 300 people and killed six, in an outbreak that has been reported in five countries -- now including the United States.
It is unclear if this person recently traveled to China, where and how they became infected, and if this person has transmitted the virus to anyone else in the United States. [Reply]
We're up to 2 cases in the U.S. now. Number doubles every 3 days. By my calculations that gives us all less than 3 months. Super Bowl should still be good, though.

By that math, 16 people won’t make it until Kickoff. Will that drop the ticket prices any?!? [Reply]
So China is shutting down cities for this virus thats barely lethal? Like the flu kills more people and were not quarantining NYC because of it. Is China u see reporting this? [Reply]
