Officials in Washington state say a person has died of COVID-19, the first such death in the United States.Health officials in California, Oregon and Washington state worried about the novel coronavirus spreading through West Coast communities after confirming three patients were infected by unknown means.
The California Department of Public Health said Friday that the state will receive enough kits from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control to test up to 1,200 people a day for the COVID-19 virus — a day after Gov. Gavin Newsom complained to federal health officials that the state had already exhausted its initial 200 test kits.
The Santa Clara County resident was treated at a local hospital and is not known to have traveled to Solano County, where another woman was identified Wednesday as having contracted the virus from an unknown source. Washington state health officials announced two new coronavirus cases Friday night, including a high school student who attends Jackson High School in Everett, said Dr. Chris Spitters of the Snohomish County Health District.
On Friday, state officials said the federal decided it no longer had a crucial need to move those people to the Fairview Developmental Center in Costa Mesa. That’s because of the imminent end of the isolation period for those passengers and the relatively small number of persons who ended up testing positive, officials said.
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.
Trumpers are like 'well, one person doesn't matter.'
Tell it President Trump Wakey Wakey dhhhhh
Underlying health conditions? Could we get specifics on those conditions?
imsasankp we were planning to play badminton in the vicinity and dropped the plan
Mood NotMuzzled FakeNews
Underlying illnesses....
It's time you guys promote VEGETARIANISM in US before the toll goes very high. Advocate people not to eat non vegetarian items, including eggs. If you really care. India has several medicines to help you.

We are all doomed
One? Stop hiding coronavirus with flu and you'll see a real large number here..
17,000 have died from the flu so far.
These officials won't tell you whole families were wiped out in Wuhan. They still say covid19 is another flu. Fed and state have failed big time. hoax coronavirus
jcrew756 F Jay Inslee the loser. After reading he is involved, the rest of the article isn't worth crap.
jcrew756 Although very sad, the numbers of deaths verses infection are very low.
Please confirm if it’s the 50-year-old woman or the 19 year-old man? Trump said she and the WAgovernor said he.
Scary but just wondering how many have died from the flu in the US this year?
Suppose to be in Spokane in two weeks. I’ll be canceling my trip Monday
The first of many if our government doesn’t get its shit together.
Lay there
Thinking can yuu sweat it out Use high pepper ginger teas! Some of these is better and just having them lye there
Oh Kay reading this it’s the capacity of the individual to fight off the bug That’s a immune system issue! Up the C drink good water! Fortified water with vitamins and minerals Spray Lysol original formula or and use wipes! Open doors and windows to get air good air in around
Until we know how this person’s health was, where the elderly, trials, auto immune disease, vulnerable to respiratory issues We have no way of knowing what killed them that could’ve just been an element.
*clutches essential oils*
Think about it. This was a woman in her 50's who received the best possible care available on the planet. And she still died of coronavirus . This is why we take it seriously. The problem is for the 15 plus % who get seriously ill. They may not get proper treatment with line ups
This says a man in his 50s, Trump said a woman in her late 50s, another person from the area said it was a 19 year old male. Which is it? Why can’t we get the same answer from more than 1 source?
We were waiting for this to happen... 3% at least is the statistic. These is no flu people. China would not shut down cities with 10's of millions if this was just a flu. It will kill people in mass as it rapidly spreads over the nations. coronavirus CDCofBC
10,000 people have died from the flu since October in the US. Let’s be responsible with our headlines. Shall we?
That “bless you” after a sneeze hitting different now 😩
I wish Little Donnie would get his facts straight before making idiotic false statements. He is ignorant but not as ignorant as those who think what he says is factual.
Really. How many die from the Flu?
So was it a 19 year old or an older person? This is the problem when information is being held in a vacuum because people don't want to piss off Trump. We need to know and demand answers, not more questions.
Wait!? Was it a male or a female? Was that person 19 years old, or 50 years old? I just read this article, and read Donald Trump’s statements, and there still isn’t actual clarity on this. Who has the definitive answer here? How old was this person and what sex were they?
She had many medical issues before she contracted Coronavirus
A very convincing hoax....
Note to Trump: It's not getting better.
After first death at Evergreen Hospital in Kirkland, WA today, hazmat suits are coming out for ER staff at Seattle area hospitals. Press conference at 1:00 PST coronavirus
DHensleyChicago Was it the president? CTA
Considering trumps state of health and fear of germs I wonder how he'd stand up to Corona. Would be interesting if next press conference every reporter showed up coughing, just to see how much of a 'hoax' he really believed it to be.
tingo God Bless American
How many have died from the flu this year?
reluctantzealot We knew it before 3 reported it. No need for him to put his words out . Adderal speech.
19yo male student from everit wa.
Blah blah blah
How can they possibly say the first death if they refused to test until now?
What the shit i live in washington tacoma
While any preventable death is a tragedy & we feel for the family & friends of this person ... I guarantee you this person already had underlying health issues & a compromised immune system.
So I binged human coronavirus and this pops up, In late December 2019, a cluster of patients with ‘atypical pneumonia’ of unknown etiology was reported in Wuhan, China. A novel human coronavirus, now provisionally called ‘SARS-CoV-2’, was identified as the cause of this disease
Which is it: 19 yr old male who was diagnosed and died within couple day; or 50 yr old woman with Pre-existing condition?
Nothing to worry about. Obama probably did it. Stocks look good. Trump is king, and has degree in infectious diseases from Trump University.
Is this the person that was just admitted yesterday? That would be the type of detail they should stop hiding. When did the U.S. politicians become such disciples of the CCP?
Welp fuck us then
'State officials issued a terse news release ... gave no details and scheduled a news conference. ...person died in the facility in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland, but gave no other details.' Tell politicians and media further details is exactly what they should stop leaving out
Trump calling it a hoax last night was not surprising but what troubles me is the thousands of people cheering are there really people that stupid.
Is it a coincidence that Washington State, one of the few states in which illegal immigration is up and half are from Asia, is also the state with the first death from community aquired coronavirus
Wait, you can die from a hoax? Let’s make sure the idiotinchief realDonaldTrump is aware of this. I hope he catches a hoax quickly.
alinafaba FYI fatah_pak
A LOT OF NEW ACCOUNTS/BOT DOWNPLAYING THE VIRUS ON THIS FEED.
Someone died from the latest Democratic hoax!? Damn, they’re good.
Didn't Trump say it was merely flu?
Sorry that she has died. This virus came from People's Republic of China and has spread due to incompetence in the PRC and global travel. This is serious yes but there is no reason to panic. The information is getting out. No need to shut down everything. Yet it may happen.
I notice you guys blow up the 1 who died and make no mention of the 9 who had it and have already recovered from it. I mean why give people hope right?
'You should be more worried about the FLU!' --Leftist media outlets all over Here is a summary of their message TO ITALY
Oh, oh. Hear goes the misinformation! Sorry for that person’s death, don’t get me wrong , but will the motorcycle driver just killed in an accident be recognized as well.
That’s to bad! How many people die from poop on their romaine lettuce?
FirstSquawk Oh no person died from flu 😱. Please.
I am sure this person's family does not believe this virus is 'fake news' and a hoax.
you're winning arisbubbly
This is NOT “the flu”. Throwing out the number of annual influenza cases and deaths to portray COVID-19 as less lethal is completely misleading. The death rate from a typical influenza is .1% while the death rate from COVID-19 is over 2% or 20 times as deadly!!!
JoshMankiewicz At least it brought Carrie Fisher back to life..
I’m curious if the realDonaldTrump still believes if this is still a hoax 🤷♂️
Trump just surrendered to the Taliban. Can't wait to see how they handle the corona virus.
Your reporters are reporting it was a man who died, which is incorrect.
You cant put this information out there without the other related, important info: age, health, underlying factors....
Sad for that person. Media will go crazy.
Fear porn
Out of the 86K current cases, 39,800 have recovered but I can’t find one media outlet or article reporting this.
EverettHerald Oh noes
There are also documented survivors in the US. These individuals had COVID 19 and are now past the critical stage. There are additional documented cases where husband and wife were exposed and only one of them got the virus. Perspective. Please. Panic won't help any of us.COVID
1 out of 372 million, it's an epidemic, more people are dying from the flu and no one bats an eye
USELESS Trump WILL Blame Democrats wait and see
1 person is not a pandemic.
laura_polesky Trump doesn’t care since it happened in a blue state.
we need to secure our borders to better evaluate people...hopefully its not too late for the sanctuary cities
And how many has died from the flu? Asking for a Friend
Wealth_Theory
...So.... Like, does this first US dead guy get some kind of prize or major award, or something? Just wondering.
All we have to do is wait for April & we’ll all be OK.
bothrapawan53 What will happen if it reaches Africa?
We are all dying Incubation
May that person Rest In Peace.

It’s a disease now? Also, victim was elderly.
It begins. Trump will kill us all.
barondaytrading Over population, hundreds of different animal species crammed close together in those crappy Chinese markets, totally unatural. It was only a matter of time before this happened, Mother Nature fighting back.
Prayers to her and her family!! However, love how you have to go all the way to the very end of the article to get the details about the headline. The woman was 60 years old and in ladder stages of Chemotherapy, can’t imagine how weak her immune system was. But keep scaring peeps
HOAX Democrats
mrpropertyplug
jimbcbs4 Very sad news. Still hoping people don’t get all hysterical. World will end mentality
Not to worry tho!
So, that person is completely healed.

KNX1070 Dead wow and it’s not a cold please let the president and Limbaugh know they are wrong wrong wrong☠️☠️☠️☠️

This Woman was posting from a NY hospital last night. Refusing to notify husbands employer (a gas station/convenience store) that she was positive for coronavirus. SHE DID NOT TELL HOSPITAL SHE WAS IN CONTACT WITH PPL TRAVELING FROM IRAN/ARABIC CIRCLE'.
mrplannings You can FEEL the come to life in this tweet. This is the shit these sick asses live for. This is leftist controlled Washington State. Did confirm this?
Very sad news. Not helped by Trump's stubborn refusal to acknowledge there are more cases than he initially said, his disdain for science nor the clampdown on the CDC they have engaged in.
Why are they letting flights come in and then in the most populated airport in the country SF and LA .. if this doesn’t make you concern then idk 😐
LetFauciSpeak
And how many have died of the flu so far this year? Shut up, wash your hands and get a flu shot.

And dunce realDonaldTrump said everything was fine.
You have a better chance to win the lottery than you do dying from coronavirus in the US... but keep pushing those fear headlines and ignoring the people who had it, have kicked it, and are continuing on like it was a typical cold...
sc_lorraine Why won't the article open?
Did the Washington health officials contacted pence before announcing this? Otherwise he’s going to be really jealous and mad.
What they have to say about this now .. sad and scary
I wonder how people would feel about the flu, if every time someone died of that, it was bracking news.
Wowwwww
It's a hoax as per POTUS45 TrumpIsANationalSecurityThreat TrumpIsARussianAsset coronavirus HoaxPresident TrumpisaFakePOTUS FAKEPOTUS

If the coronavirus was such a big deal then why didn't CNN cover the President's press conference discussing the issue last Wed? And instead covered Bloomberg's Town Hall....
Reality: Don't panic.
See how the coverage compares against other news outlets on Ground News coronavirus Breaking Medical Americas WashingtonDC
Thousands die from the normal flu every year
'chronic health conditions' Just leave it to the imagination as the what this means.
Hundreds die from the flu
“Perspective” is what we need from “breaking news headlines” by the media on this topic.
How old?

Stop.. you damn press are so thirsty for money that you have to spread fake news. All I want to ever see when I wake up, and go to bed from the news, is weather, and sports. You can't really manipulate that..
