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.

Unfortunate yet ironic this is happening at the same hospital where 8,000 healthcare workers are striking for better patient safety MUCH can rapidly fall through cracks and it is nurses who catch the falls. For the sake and safety of all support these nurses as they fight for you

Smn ain't ryt. But ok🚶‍♂️

Reason number 1,324,643 not to have open borders.

Coronavirus 2020!

It's a good thing the CDC's budget to combat emerging infections diseases wasn't cut. Oh, wait.....

Like The Stand. Good thing we’ve got qualified government agency heads and workers ready to quickly mobilize all resources to protect us! Oh, right. We’re fucked.

Was considering joining Chinese New Years festivities in DC next week... Maybe we'll pass this year.

I bet they have a vaccine lined up🤔🤔🤔🤔

That didn't take long to get here.

Reminds me of the movie Contagion

“A source outside the CDC” . . . of course . . outside of the taxpayers right to know from their’ government! Elected Republicans hate everything OTHER than . . . . White Male Privilege.

Was hoping it wouldn't reach the US. Hopefully this is just one isolated case and nothing else managed to get through.

I believe I had it or that SARS mutation in December (got it from someone who just arrived from China). It's unreported though, since I didn't go to a doctor. I'm sure there are plenty of other unreported cases. It's nasty and lasts for weeks.

Oh dear. One to keep your eye on, I think.

Oh crap!

Oh helll...nope...nope...nope.
