News headlines today: Feb. 28, 2020SAN JOSE -- THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP'S EARLIER STORY IS BELOW:The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday that officials are “aware of a second possible instance of community spread of COVID-19 in California." The CDC said in a statement that the patient has tested positive for the virus and is considered a presumptive positive case.
Residents of the community where the woman first went to the hospital, in Vacaville, are at the epicenter of what officials are calling a turning point in the spread of the highly contagious coronavirus, The case of the infected woman marks an escalation of the worldwide outbreak in the U.S. because it means the virus could spread beyond the reach of preventative measures like quarantines, though state health officials said that was inevitable and that the risk of widespread transmission remains low.
The virus can cause fever, coughing, wheezing and pneumonia. Health officials think it spreads mainly from droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how the flu spreads.
Community has not been confirmed, but is - Presumed.
WAIT. There will soon be MANY more.....
I really hope this doesn’t hurt black unemployment numbers. 🙏🏻
Can someone please explain what 'community transmission' is, if the patient wasn't in touch with any infected persons? (Yes I Googled it. No, I didn't find info that explains _what it is_ and _how_ it works and how it's different from regular virus transmission.)
He’ll be fine!

American’s are sloppy at isolation especially at HHS. Almost by design they spread it from Travis (likely).
So you gonna have fireworks tonight?
So Trump should have banned travel sooner than the Dems wanted.
Stop flying infected people to California and this won’t be happening. Shoulda left them all in China under quarantine.
But trump said it would go away. Like a miracle
Sad Stream Selena Gomez to save World of Coronavirus
And no less than an hour ago the leader called the virus a 'hoax.' Wonderful country we live in.
DonaldTrump says the democrats are politicizing the Coronavirus and calls it “their new hoax”. This is extremely irresponsible and will lead to people NOT taking serious measures to stop the outbreak from spreading. Trump is a national security threat!
