A man in his 70s has become the first person in Oregon to die from the new coronavirus. He had no known contact to a confirmed case and had not traveled to another country where the virus is circulating, the Oregon Health Authority says.

, which has infected more than 150,000 people and killed more than 5,700. The disease for most people causes only mild or moderate symptoms. For some, it can cause more severe illness.The Oregon Health Authority said the Multonomah County man was hospitalized at the Portland Veterans Affairs Medical Center and died Saturday.

It said 120 people had recovered and were released from quarantine over the past 24 hours, raising the number of recovered to 834. The government has set up a team to to work on the shortage, asking mask makers to bolster production and prioritize shipment to hospitals and nursing homes.___ Cuomo and Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie said in a statement Saturday that Helene Weinstein and Charles Barron, both Brooklyn Democrats, have been diagnosed with the illness. All legislators and staff who came into contact with the two will be tested and the capitol building is being cleaned and has been closed to visitors.

The head of the national health agency, Jerome Salomon, announced the statistic Saturday night as France saw another jump in new virus cases. In Panama, President Laurentino Cortizo announced the suspension of flights from Europe and Asia, while El Salvador President Nayib Bukele barred gatherings of over 75 people and ordered bars and nightclubs closed for 14 days. He also ordered that a convention center be converted to a temporary hospital with 2,000 beds and 300 intensive care units.

DeSantis said Saturday while it will be frustrating for relatives not to visit loved ones in nursing homes, the ban is needed to prevent the virus’ spread among the frail and elderly. Exceptions will be made for visitations to patients who are near death. “Whoever doesn’t need to go work or doesn’t need to be in a certain place, don’t go,” Netanyahu said in a televised address Saturday.Netanyahu told the public that they should prepare for a new routine but that the government would ensure that essential services continue.

United States

Fuck.

SethAbramson and look at how most Italians live, packed like sardines into tenemant style housing where disease can easily spread unlike in the US where we have large single family homes making SocialDistancing workable CoronavirusOutbreak CoronaVirusUpdates CoronaVirusHysteria

Did he order stuff from China online?

Simply put this situation we find ourselves in is a catastrophic failure of trump.

美國危險了。😷

Of course because no one is getting tested. You should assume its much much more widespread than assumed.

So many young people are carrying the virus without symptoms.. Incubators 😷

Fake news by America's enemy.....the media

Right

And its pandemic.

Check his credit card statements & his smartphone - Maybe you find an escort-connection or similar. He certainly was infected by someone. Oregon COVID19

'He had no known contact to a confirmed case...' people THIS does not matter. The virus does NOT care if you have been in contact with one of the lucky few to have been tested.

The disease is already in US. And given the limited testing done, having no known contact to a confirmed case doesn't mean anything. Everybody is exposed to potential unknown contacts.

Very sad. March 1st 150 March 5 4000 March 7 5883 March 13th 23000

😱

Panic!!!!...... not. Wake up people!

SethAbramson The other VA home in OR hit with COVID is already running short of medical supplies according to Oregonian . We've just begun this battle. Lord help us.

SethAbramson The virus is NOT circulating in Another Country it is circulating in YOUR country. Stop with the foreign threat already!

IreneSeaborn The virus has probably been spreading in America for some time.

This is why the testing guidelines are absurd! You are denied testing if you have not had'direct contact' with someone who has tested positive!! HOW DO YOU KNOW if nobody is being tested? All just to keep Trump's numbers low so that it won't hurt his reelection!!! 😫😈😠

SethAbramson Damn Europe!

SethAbramson Via MaryCallahanB: BREAKING: Sonoma County announces first case of community-spread coronavirus. Case discovered through surveillance testing to determine if community transmission was occurring undetected. It was. COVID19 Coronavirus SonomaCounty

SethAbramson 😢😢😢😢

I wonder if Christianity and the Pope can save Italy

It's called community spread, likely from someone asymptomatic

CariCorbett100 💔

The Dir of CDC has said that the new coronavirus was killing Americans under the cover of influenza way before it started out in China. Now they feel free to tag it coronavirus, but before, it was influenza.

There's 22 cases in one town in Oregon and 40 in the state and the governor keeps asking Pence for kits and has only gotten 80 for the state, no one in national media has been talking about how bad Oregon is

Condolences to those he loved.

He was in his seventies... his body is already fragile and any illness could have killed him at this point. coronavirus COVIDー19

I bet he had underlying health issues

意大利🇮🇹,加油!挺住! 中国人和你们一起努力,齐心战疫! WE ALL Chinese people are standing with you! Italia, rifornimento. I cinesi hanno lavorato con voi sulla malattia della guerra! Didn't know any Italian, translated from Google,I should learn some in the future.

We need to close non-essential businesses & put a hold on rent, evictions, debt payments, & the rest. If it's a choice btwn losing one's home or going to work, ppl are going to go, putting others at risk. How many ppl will avoid the doc due to fear of costs? This is a disaster.

A Quarantinee in Italy actually spoke with me about this on my Podcast 👇🏿What's Quarantine like | The Greatest Voice Podcast

This is what happened when the govt not expanding the test. Some people have Coronavirus without symptoms but still infecting others

RIP. I’m so sad for people losing loved ones.

Is every single MFing death going to be national news?

Bless his soul. Keep us in your prayers

*o*

1Obefiend Ini semua salah Trump.

Associated Press (AP) you used the word 'new' in regards to the Corona virus. Why? Is it because the 'commoncold' is a coronavirus as well as flu, scientifically, so you 'know' something because you said 'new' & put your foot in your mouth. Isis

So sad.....

*that we know of.

it's airborne. We are being poisoned right now.

They’re referring to COVID-19 as the “new” coronavirus. A Coronavirus has different types (hence the 19) similar to how there’s different types of cancer. So this one, 19, the “new” one, is the same one we’re dealing with. It’s just poor phrasing.

This just awful. How did this happen so fast?

This shows that there are already other people infected with coronavirus in Oregon, and I hope the Health Bureau can provide tests as soon as possible

A word to the wise, if you are healthy and not worried about it, be worried about the older people in your family and communities you could be spreading it to. It's not a hoax and a media hype job.

My mom is 70 and I bought her everything she needs for WEEKS just so she doesn’t leave the house. Talked to her today when she was on her way to Costco 🤦

so he probably got it from someone else who got it from someone else who got it from- ya get the point....😐

We really need to look at the CorunaVirus transmission vectors - wild life? Birds? Because this virus made the jump to humans, we need to determine other ways it could be transmitted apart from human-to-human. COVID2019 could be in many animals.

Underlying conditions? 🤔

Dear God, I just wish this was all a nightmare and we would wake up. Can't believe this is happening.

There are hundreds of thousands of people who have it right now and we’ll never know Confirmed cases don’t mean shit

What info is there on the 'New' Coronavirus? How is it different?

What a welcoming news. While article talks about Italy. Tweet is about Oregon.

dude how pissed are these people going to be when they finally let them out and they all end up getting it anyway

THIS SHIT IS WHAT HAPPENS CoronaKatie

new, are you keeping things from us?

What’s the new coronavirus

It's officially become magical

RIP

Add him to Hillary Clinton’s body count
