Coronavirus has hit New York

Postby MrKite » Tue Feb 25, '20, 11:36 pm

As if I am not in enough fear, I just heard that the Coronavirus has hit New York, which is not far off from where I live. And for all I know it will hit here soon. Just wonderful. What next?? I’m afraid to leave the house now I think after hearing this.

I just read that so far there are no cases in New York City. 6 or 7 people have been tested but so far negative.

Although that could have changed, and may well change at some point in the future.

They are now warning everyone in the USA to get ready and be prepared if indeed this virus should strike anywhere else here in the USA. I agree, it is scary.

See in the news today where there is another confirmed case in California and they do not know how she got the virus as she hasn't traveled overseas, etc.!

I really don't think they should have brought any of these people that were in China back over here to the USA until this thing was totally over with. They had to know it made the chances of people catching it here much greater. I feel sorry for them but I also feel sorry for the millions over here who are now at risk.

This thing gets more scary each day.

Well, I just saw on the news a little while ago that the first death from coronavirus had occurred in the USA. I think it was in Washington.

Everyone please take safety measures and precautions now or asap.

Sorry to hear about those deaths in France and elsewhere. Another death in the USA and more new cases found, although those people seem to be undergoing treatment now. This is going to be here for awhile I think.

The coronavirus has now hit the state where I live. Two people infected so far but they are at home under isolation as it is only a mild case. Several counties away from where I live so that is some comfort atleast. One of the persons had recently traveled to Italy.

More deaths in Washington. The death toll was 9 in the USA the last I heard. Some more cases confirmed in some other states as well.

I also read that USA President Donald Trump has given this quarter of his Presidential salary to help fight this virus.
