    A short while ago, I tuned in to watch "Shark Tank"... but instead CNBC had a stock market/coronavirus special that preempted regular programming. They gave "breaking news" that a woman in New York state has been confirmed having coronavirus. They said she had been in Iran but has not mingled much in the NY community since returning. CNBC didn't have much information and they didn't address the commercial airline [and other passengers] she might have infected on her trip back.

    Negro says don't protect yourself from Corona virus, because medical staff need the masks to protect themselves from coronavirus.

    KING COUNTY, Wash. -- A second man has died from coronavirus in King County, bringing the total to 13 confirmed cases in Washington state.

    Another man who is in his 70s remains in critical condition at the same hospital. Snohomish County is also reporting a second confirmed case with a man in his 40s in critical condition at EvergreenHealth.

    U.S. Plans 'Radical Expansion' of Coronavirus Testing

    " After weeks of stalled testing for the coronavirus, the United States now has enough diagnostic kits to test 75,000 people, with more on the way, Alex M. Azar II, the health and human services secretary, said on Sunday.

    The Trump administration has faced widespread criticism for a slow and scattered delivery of testing materials to states, where only 12 labs are capable of diagnosing the virus.

    Mr. Azar's announcement, on CBS's "Face the Nation," came a day after the Food and Drug Administration announced that it was giving laboratories and hospitals across the country the go-ahead to conduct tests that had been severely limited to those analyzed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention...

    ... Mr. Azar said on Sunday that the diagnostic kits, which will distributed within two weeks, represented "a radical expansion even beyond that of the testing that’s available."

    Coronavirus may have spread undetected for weeks in U.S.

    March 1, 2020

    " WASHINGTON - The coronavirus has been circulating undetected and has possibly infected scores of people over the past six weeks in Washington state, according to a genetic analysis of virus samples that has sobering implications for the entire country amid heightening anxiety about the likely spread of the disease.

    The researchers conducted genetic sequencing of two virus samples. One is from a patient who traveled from China to Snohomish County in mid-January and was the first person diagnosed with the disease in the United States. The other came from a recently diagnosed patient in the same county, a high school student with no travel-related or other known exposure to the coronavirus. The two samples look almost identical genetically, said Trevor Bedford, a computational biologist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle who announced the results of the research on Twitter late Saturday night.

    "This strongly suggests that there has been cryptic transmission in Washington State for the past 6 weeks," Bedford wrote. "I believe we're facing an already substantial outbreak in Washington State that was not detected until now due to narrow case definition requiring direct travel to China."

    Officials in Seattle and King County on Sunday announced that two more people have tested positive for the coronavirus, which causes the disease named covid-19. Both patients are men in their 60s and are in critical condition. That brings the outbreak in Washington state to eight cases, six of them in King County, including the first coronavirus death in the United States, which was announced Saturday.

    Health officials in Washington state and across the nation said they expect numbers will continue to rise in the wake of the decision by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last week to widen testing guidelines. Over the weekend, new cases were reported in Americans who had recently traveled to South Korea and Italy, including one person in Rhode Island, the state’s first case."
