DENVER – Two people have tested positive for the novel coronavirus in Colorado, Governor Jared Polis announced Thursday, confirming the rapidly spreading virus had made it to Colorado.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) said Thursday a man in his 30s visiting Summit County tested “presumptive” positive for COVID-19. Polis in a news conference later Thursday said there was a second positive case of coronavirus reported in Colorado. The two cases were not connected, Polis said. More information about the second case was not yet available.

The Wuhanic Plague is here.

Hopefully, we don’t see a repeat of what may have happened a few years ago with the swine/bird flu. It appeared to have been spread from I-70 and covered the State really fast, maybe from public restrooms in big stores.
How so?
2 cases now.
Over reactive drama queens. This shit happens damn near every other year, but this time you are certain the end is near.
We know it can leapfrog mountains. Not that Sawatch Range and the Sangre de Cristo Range can keep it out.
Hope you stay safe, because you sure aren't very observant.
If you were, then you would have noticed that this is my first post on a thread concerting COVID-19.
Secondly, you would have noticed my quite humorous parody on the name: "Wuhanic Plague".
I guess I missed the part where I'm fear-mongering?
Actually, you sound more like a Demonrat, whining about things you know nothing about. Just sayin'
Come to remember, there were early cases of that terrible flu down from I-70 along Hwy 24 going south, then along 285 west towards Denver (Englewood). Never completely recovered from a respiratory condition from that.

Exactly. Avg death rate of those infected with Coronavirus is about 2.3%, and its primarily the aged.
The flu death rate iis about 6.9%
Heart attacks about 30%
Cancer is about 28-29%
Heart attacks about 30%
Cite your statistics or it didn't happen...
“Work hard. Have flu”
Ues I can. Thanks for asking. Since I dont care if you belive it after I searched for over 25 mins and dont care if I impress you or not, Its called Google. Try searching for yourself!
All right - if you insist...Here's what I found for the 2018-2019 influenza season:
"Conclusion. CDC estimates that influenza was associated with more than 35.5 million illnesses, more than 16.5 million medical visits, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths during the 2018–2019 influenza season. This burden was similar to estimated burden during the 2012–2013 influenza season"
So...follow carefully - since math isn't your strong suit...
34,200 deaths / 35,500,000 = 0.0009633.
In other words, deaths were 0.09633% of the total cases.
Let's pretend, for the sake of discussion that the Wuhanic Plague has a death rate of 2%. That is: 0.02 / 0.0009633 = 20.76 times deadlier than what was experienced during the 2018-2019 flu season.
Don't be scared of facts...
“The flu death rate iis about 6.9%
Heart attacks about 30%
Cancer is about 28-29%”
The first number you cite is obviously incorrect, the rest is non-specific gibberish.
“The Wuhanic Plague is here.”
Ahh, but the East coast, Italian variety.
The news media wants to create panic with this corona virus hype. It’s all about the election. The news media is using the corona virus hysteria to slow down the economy: the stock market is crashing because of this media hype.
Rush Limbaugh said that if an outerspace alien landed and heard the news he’d think 1/2 the planet’s population was had died from the corona virus.
Around 40,000 people in the USA die of the regular flu every year. Ditto for car accidents.
Most of the 11 reported deaths from Washington State, California
