(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]

The only people who will die in the USA and other western countries, are the ones who waited too late to go to the doctor. Just like every other pneumonia case since we developed antibiotics.

and a virus can cause pneumonia and it can be bacterial. But safe to say, it is being treated as far worse than your basic cold that moves to lungs and results in pneumonia
Crazy amount of misinformation around for sure. The internet does bad info at lightning speed. I still chuckle about the Vitamin D shit.
