A man in Washington state has been diagnosed with the mysterious virus, the first case confirmed in the United States of an illness that began in China last month and has killed at least six people and sickened hundreds more, according to people familiar with the investigation. The man is in stable condition. He arrived in the United States last week, before federal health officials began screening travelers from the central Chinese city of Wuhan at Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York’s John F. Kennedy international airports. The CDC is expected to announce details about the U.S. case in a 2 p.m. news conference. Neither his identity, nor his travel route have been publicly released.

Trump should leave Davos early and muster the CDC.

Not funny when this could be the beginning of a new “1918 Spanish Flu” type pandemic.

WP Update:
The man is a resident of Snohomish County, Wash., who experienced symptoms after returning from a trip to the region around Wuhan, China, where the outbreak began. He was hospitalized with pneumonia last week, and infection with the coronavirus was confirmed on Monday afternoon.

Bring Out Your Dead
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.

6 deaths out of 291 patients is just over 2% fatality rate.
Serious stuff.

Per NBC news the patient is a male, is in good condition. If the patient is a foreign national, wonder who’s paying for his care. And if the CDC is doing contact tracing.

Impeachment is about to get overrun with this story. As I recall, that Texas Ebola outbreak occurred just before the elections, and Obama kept down playing the significance.

Did you also want to laugh at the Spanish and other victims of the 1918 pandemic?
