Remarkableriots Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1145931 Quote Health officials in Washington state said on Saturday a coronavirus patient has died, marking the first death in the U.S. from COVID-19, the illness associated with the virus. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it's responding to "the first possible outbreak" of the respiratory illness in a long-term care center in Washington. The death was not associated with that facility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet with that said all recent cases in canada have been people coming back from iran not symptomatic before leaving(*), they've had a spike in cases, their healthcare system is not prepared and their deputy health minister tested positive. * I have to check the numbers but I think the majority of canadian cases now are people returning from iran or in contact with someone (spouse) than people returning from china.

CitizenVectron Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The darkest piece of news that I have read about this is that it could potentially become a yearly thing, like the flu. Because the virus is new to humans, there is a chance it will spread wide enough to out-mutate any vaccine created, and will survive in the human population indefinitely. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricofoley Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 The good news is that it seems like the 2% fatality rate can be said to be almost certainly too high at this point 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
