Nobody allowed to leave or enter. So far, at least 41 people have died, and there are more than 1,300 confirmed cases across the globe. The coronavirus has sent shock waves through global markets. The state department is now telling americans in the clearest way possible, do not travel to china. The Defense Department is designating military bases across the country that could house 1,000 quarantined patients. On friday, u. S. Health officials declared the virus a Public Health emergency. There are squads of people who are going door to door, dragging people from their apartments because theyre suspected of having the virus. The number of cases worldwide now topping 6,000. 60,000. 132,000 cases. The new name, covid19. New deaths and new infections. Many experts say the death toll is being underestimated by as much as fourfold. So im at the airport. Theyre making an announcement now to maintain your personal hygiene and not to travel to wuhan, china. And just look around here. This is Hong Kong International airport, one of the busiest transport hubs in the world. Theres nobody here. The coronavirus has now spread to almost every continent on earth. Here in hong kong, its turned this crowded city into a ghost town. Although the overwhelming majority of people who contract the coronavirus survive, most with just mild cases. Globally it has claimed thousands of lives with tens of thousands infected. And this could be just the beginning. To find out how serious this outbreak is, where it came from, and whats being done to contain it, i traveled to asia and washington, d. C. To try to answer the most basic question. What happens when a disease that kills goes global . In this city of 7 million on the southern tip of mainland china, theyre taking all the precautions they can. But covid19 is already here. At hong kongs hospital, the doctors have been put on socalled dirty teams to deal with coronavirus patients. Its the front line in the fight against the disease. Cardiologist alfred wong was one of the first to volunteer. How do you get this . How are people in your hospital getting this . So the roots of transmission of these viruses all coronaviruses, they transmit through droplets. Does it have to go into your mouth or in your eyes . Mew koesle membranes. So if we are wearing a mask, those droplets cannot pass through the mask into your mouth or your nose. If you avoid messing around with your eyes, then you are probably safe. We have seen many cases of clustered infections within families or within groups of friends who pass on the virus to one another just within a mealtime. They have a lunch together or they have dinner together. One meal . Yes. And then they transmit the virus to one another because you dont wear a mask during mealtimes. And its this level of infectiousness that means dr. Wong has to take extreme measures to make sure he doesnt become infected and spread the disease. When we are working, we are sort of separated from the rest of the department. We have our own office. We dont eat inside canteens. We do takeaways and hide somewhere to eat. And after work, we dont go home. So where are you staying . Im staying in a hotel near the hospital. Most of our colleagues have children or old parents at home. Its basically the same thing for every one of us. I just reckon if this battle indeed lasts for months, then sooner or later, every one of us will have to be involved in the team. Every one of them in a battle thats personal as well as professional. Do you have a wife . Yes. Shes pregnant . Yes, she is. Yeah, its difficult of course. Thats a lot of personal sacrifice. Raise your hand. Ill be part of the dirty team. Yes, my wife is how pregnant is she . Shes more than 33 weeks now. So shes almost at the end. Almost there, yeah. This is what we know so far about the coronavirus. Most people will be fine. The World Health Organization now believes the mortality rate from the coronavirus is 3. 4 of all it infects. But that overall average is somewhat misleading because how lethal this virus is depends a lot on who gets it. Most of the data comes from china. Based on their numbers, people with preexisting conditions are at a far greater risk. For example, the mortality rate for someone with no diagnosed preexisting conditions is less than 1 . And the risk goes up the older you get, especially for those 70 or older. The World Health Organization has found that children are far less susceptible with very few of them even getting the virus at all. Just 2. 4 of all people who tested positive are under the age of 18. No one in the world has ever experienced this virus before. This is the first time this virus has begun to circulate, and it is showing, you know, very significant rates of infectiousness. Dr. Richard hatchett is leading an International Team of scientists to find a coronavirus vaccine, working in labs in australia, europe, and the United States. Its a process that normally takes decades, but time is working against us. Our current goal and this is an incredibly ambitious goal, but we have to set this for ourselves as a goal to be able to have a vaccine within 12 to 18 months. Do you think thats realistic . I think its going to be a big challenge. How is this different than the common cold . With a virus that is that infectious, where there is no underlying population immunity, you would expect perhaps up to 60 or 67 of the population to become infected. Of the World Population . Yes, essentially. Thats billions of people. Thats billions of people. New developments this evening in the coronavirus crisis. China experiencing the deadliest day of the outbreak yet. Scientists are racing to develop a vaccine. Growing concerns over the deadly coronavirus and the aggressive steps being taken to halt its spread. And were gaining new insights into the evolution of the coronavirus thanks to the work of a leading scientist who is studying the virus and the animals that probably transmitted it. How confident are you that this coronavirus came from bats like these . Im 90 certain that the virus originated in bats that are similar to this, yes. Danielle anderson is a virologist with 20 years experience. Within days of the first outbreak, she and her team had identified the coronavirus. Why bats . So bats are interesting because they contain a lot of viruses. They host a lot of viruses. But those viruses, they dont make the bat sick. But once the virus is shed out of the bats, they can make us sick. Shed out of the bats. How does a virus shed out of a bat into humans . So if the bat pees or if the bat guano goes on any surface or directly on you or if the bat scratches you, then the virus can be transmitted that way. And once it made that jump from bats to humans, the virus could be here to stay. What does that mean for all of snus. We have to find a vaccine and learn to live with the virus. I think its just going to become part of our life. That is just something people are going to get year after year. Until we have a vaccine, then thats the case. Next, well take you to the epicenter of the outbreak, wuhan, china, and tell you how the Chinese Governments desire for secrecy may have allowed the virus to spread. Yes. Yes. Yeah sure. Yes yes. Yeah, yeah no problem. Yes. Yes, yes a thousand times yes discover. Accepted at over 95 of places in the u. S. Discover. [happy irthday music] dont get mad, put those years to work with e trade. Than Rheumatoid Arthritis or Psoriatic Arthritis. When considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz xr, a oncedaily pill for adults with moderate to severe Rheumatoid Arthritis or active Psoriatic Arthritis for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. It can reduce pain, swelling, and significantly improve physical function. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections like tb; dont start xeljanz if you have an infection. Taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra can increase risk of death. Serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and blood clots have happened. As have tears in the stomach or intestines, serious allergic reactions, and changes in lab results. Tell your doctor if youve been somewhere fungal infections are common, or if youve had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. Dont let another morning go by without asking your doctor about xeljanz xr. Without asking your doctor about its more than just fast. It keeps all your devices running smoothly. With builtin security that protects your kids. No matter what theyre up to. It protects your info. And gives you 24 7 peace of mind. That if its connected, its protected. Even that that petcamera thingy. [ whines ] can your internet do that . Xfinity xfi can because its. Simple, easy, awesome. [ barking ] the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak is the biggest city in Central China and home to more than 11 million people. Yet few in the west had ever heard of it. They have now. The state department is urging travelers to avoid the chinese city of wuhan. Tonight, extreme measures to contain the virus. In wuhan, spraying disinfectant on buildings and cars. Wuhan, china, epicenter for the fastgrowing outbreak. Wuhan is a major city. Its the detroit of china. A lot of auto manufacturers and manufacturing bases are based there in wuhan. So theres constant travel in and out of wuhan. But in december of 2019, everything changed. Thats when people started to show up at wuhans hospitals with severe flulike symptoms. Patients had difficulty breathing and pneumonia, an ominous pattern that got the attention of a 34yearold doctor named lee nguyen liang. On december 30th, he wrote to coworkers to warn them of what he believed was an outbreak of a new virus. He recommended that they wear protective equipment. He was just a very astute physician that noticed that there is an irregular pattern of pneumonia occurring in wuhan. Its always that Frontline Health care worker like dr. Lee thats going to be the first person to notice it is Something Different and theyre going to report that up their chain of command. Joseph fair has worked all around the world tracking down deadly viruses. He knows that they are like wildfires. Contain them quickly, or it can be too late. The first few days of discovering a new virus are absolutely critical, and the first step of diagnostics and getting a diagnostic up and running and finding out how many people actually have this, thats our way of determining how contagious this virus is, how widespread it is, how large the outbreak is. But that didnt happen during those crucial first days in wuhan. Instead of being commended for spotting a new outbreak, dr. Lee was called in by police and forced to sign a letter stating his warning was an unfounded and illegal rumor. And even as more people became infected, china continued to downplay the severity of the outbreak. Chinese state media pumped out images of wuhan nurses wishing everyone a happy new year. Obviously wed like it more if they were more open, more transparent, if they had sent the alert immediately once they noticed something that was out of the norm and knew. Instead of sounding the alarm about the outbreak of a new and potentially deadly disease, chinas oneparty state chose the opposite. It said the virus was not spreading from human to human, and because of that, it was under control. Back in hong kong, i went to meet a man who is a vocal opponent of chinas ruling communist party. Before the interview began, a coronavirus screening. Jimmy lai is a media tycoon who believes the Chinese Government made a bad situation worse. If those doctors who initially discovered this virus were allowed to really tell the people instead of being punished by police, you know, saying that they were spreading rumors, maybe everything would have been contained. China is particularly susceptible to Infectious Diseases like covid19. The wet markets where wild animals are sold alongside meat and seafood massively increase the odds of a virus jumping from one species to another. Scientists believe this coronavirus outbreak originated in one of these wet markets in wuhan. The working theory is someone butchered a bat, came into contact with its blood or urine, and then touched his or her nose or mouth. We know bats harbor thousands of coronaviruses. We know there were a lot of bats being sold in this market in particular. And we know through historical precedent that butchering animals such as bats can cause everything from ebola to coronaviruses, et cetera. On january 1st, two days after dr. Lee tried to alert the authorities, the Chinese Government did close the citys wet market. They said it was for renovations. But after a month of trying to downplay the outbreak, china switched gears. The coronavirus had become fatal, impossible to ignore, impossible to hide. Chinas Top Health Official finally confirmed humantohuman spread. President xi jinping imposed wartime controls, a massive and unprecedented response. A 1,000bed hospital was built in a week. Wed have a very difficult time doing that ourselves here in the United States, so i have to commend them on that. Elsewhere in the city, doortodoor temperature checks. Across china, those who refused to comply with the new measures faced the full authoritarian response. Chinas message to the world was, the virus was under control and being contained. In an extraordinary move, the entire city of wuhan was locked down. No one allowed in or out. Everyone living in the city was put into isolation. The occasional food delivery from volunteers became the only contact with the outside world. I brought you something. Oh, cool. Supplies. Supplies. Coffee. Yes. Im running low. Its been five weeks ive been here. Youre the first human beings ive actually seen within this distance in five weeks. For steve mcclure, an american who teaches at wuhan university, the small gesture made a big difference. Were making an incredible sacrifice in wuhan. The volunteers are risking themselves to maintain connections between the people in our community. It was the largest quarantine in Human History, turning the streets of a mega city eerily silent. China effectively put millions of people under house arrest in an effort to limit transmission. It spreads from contact . Person to person. Generally respiratory droplets. Dr. Anthony fauci is one of the worlds foremost experts on viruses at the National Institutes for health. People sneeze and cough into their hands. They shake hands with somebody. They open up a doorknob. Somebody else comes five minutes later. But that seems like you really need intimate contact. Yeah, yeah. People are continually coming into close contact with each other. And one of the real frustrations when youre dealing with a respiratory virus thats spread in a highly efficient way. What about the surface . If i cough into my hands and touch a surface . How long will it live so to speak. There is no theory like it takes ten minutes or two hours or three hours. It var its on the temperature, the humidity, on whether the virus is in a little droplet of mucus or saliva or whether its a free virus. Its usual lly you could say measured in hours at most, not weeks. Hours at most . Yeah. But the doctors and nurses directly treating infected patients are at a higher risk since theyre exposed to higher concentrations of the virus. In early january, dr. Lee, the physician who had first spotted the new virus, was diagnosed with it. Less than a month later, he was dead. The doctor who tried to tell the world about a new disease became one of its victims. And perhaps even more concerning, chinas wartime controls hadnt worked. The coronavirus was spreading beyond wuhan. Dr. Lees rumors had become a Global Health emergency. India is on high alert after the first coronavirus case. Another three australians have been diagnosed with the coronavirus infection. Belarus, lithuania, and the netherlands all reporting their first cases. And less than an hour ago, mexico. When we come back, how do you stop a coronavirus thats so hard to spot . As a caricature artist, i appreciate what makes each person unique. Thats why i like liberty mutual. They get that no two people are alike and customize your Car Insurance so you only pay for what you need. Almost done. What do you think . I dont see it. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty.

But for this latest coronavirus epidemic, one nation was more prepared than most. In the race to identify and contain covid19, singapore was able to draw on its experience. Because the tiny city state that had been caught off guard by epidemics in the past was now poised to respond. We havent seen anything like this for a long time. Danielle anderson is leading a Coronavirus Task force at this facility on the outskirts of central singapore. The actual virus is housed in this secure facility, so youll see theres a lot of layers that we have to go through. Layers of protection because if what lies inside somehow got out, it could be disastrous. So we took every precaution possible before entering the most sensitive areas of the compound. And now were going into the main lab, and inside this lab here is where we keep the live virus. This is the most secure lab that we have in singapore. And the coronavirus is in here . The coronavirus is inside here. We have a pure strain of that exact virus. And that would be the most contagious form. Its the purest form of the virus. Absolutely. So this is the most contagious and very pure stock. So we definitely want that virus behind all of these closed doors. Danielle anderson and her fellow scientists are working around the clock inspecting and dissecting the new virus, figuring out just how to fight it. What surprised you about this virus . The spread of this is is really, really surprising. How quickly and how far. Weve seen outbreaks in the past. We think we know what were doing, and so for me its a really, really big surprise. Surprising, but we have been here before. A century ago in 1918, as world war i was coming to an end, a new virus emerged, spanish flu. It was one of the worst pandemics in Human History. It spread across the planet, killing more than 650,000 people in the United States alone. Worldwide, more than 50 million perished. And it was most deadly for younger adults. It seemed to strike people in the prime of life. The death rates were elevated in people between the ages of 20 and say 40 or 45. Four decades later, another pandemic, the asian flu, first detected here in singapore, also spread internationally. It was followed ten years after that by the hong kong flu, which scientists believe originated in mainland china. The war against Infectious Diseases is the longest war in Human History and its killed more than all other wars combined. So 1918 was the last, i would say, major pandemic. It is inevitable that we will have a pandemic that is highly lethal. In fact, were long overdue and extremely lucky that we havent seen that yet. In 2002, a mystery illness we now know as sars appeared in Southern China and swept across the country. The Chinese Government unable to contain the outbreak, shared little about what it was experiencing with the world. Until one infected man, dr. Liu janlun traveled to neighboring hong kong. Scientists around the world are trying to find the source of a rapidly spreading illness. The deadly new illness known as sars. One man from china with the infection stayed at this fancy hotel in hong kong. He spread the virus to six unrelated people. They in turn transmitted it to dozens of others. The w. H. O. Experts are trying to find out how it began and how it spread. Health agencies raced to respond, but it was too late. Sars, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, had gone global. More than 700 died from the outbreak, and 8,000 people were infected. Roughly half of those cases were traced back to dr. Liu, the man who had become known as a super spreader. And now in 2020, spreading diseases could be easier than ever. Its easier to be a super spreader in todays world. I would say we are going to see more super spreaders just because we have a lot more people and just the simple physics of having a much Larger Population is that youre coming into contact with a lot more people than you normally would have in the past. Were much more vulnerable than we were before in the globalized world. You have planes that are flying all the time and people coming into contact with each other. But theres cities where people live really, really in close proximity and thats something that helps a virus spread easily. So urbanization. Were all living on top of each other. Pretty much, yes. If theres one bit of good news in the fight against this latest virus, its that science may have a head start. Because like sars before it, covid19 is a coronavirus, a family of viruses thats now well understood. In fact, usually carried by animals, coronaviruses are known to have made the jump to humans at least seven times before, causing a range of symptoms from coughs and fevers to severe respiratory issues, including antibioticresistant pneumonia. And while covid19 is a close cousin of sars, there may be one troubling difference. Sars only became contagious after those infected got visibly sick. It was a function of the biology of the sars virus. They didnt become infectious until they became clinically ill. Thats not the case with this virus, which is what makes this virus potentially much more frightening. Unlike sars, those infected with this new coronavirus may be contagious before they feel sick according to the cdc. That means they can potentially pass the virus to others before they or their doctors even know theyre infected. Are you confident that youre going to be able to contain this, kill this thing . It is a coronavirus. We cant forget that weve worked on other coronaviruses before. So its not like were starting from scratch with our knowledge. So all of the vaccine development, this has been in play before. So we can use the knowledge that we have from those other coronaviruses and hopefully stop covid19. So thats the goal. Treat the people and stop the spread. So far, covid19 hasnt killed nearly as many people as some of the worst mpandemics of the 20th century. But its still very early days. Have you put the genie back in the bottle . Its out. For this particular outbreak, its out. So how to get it back in, and you can see were failing at that because the numbers have reached such high levels. So its really, really difficult, and you cant go back in time. But in the future, we can do better. And fighting the virus is only part of this battle. As its spread, so have online conspiracies and toxic misinformation. This is indeed a bioweapon. Genetic manipulation. Theyre involving chemical and biological experiments. Coronavirus, the new democrat hoax. Coming up, well separate the fact from fiction. Adventure. To reconnect and be together. And once we did that, we realized his greatest adventure is just beginning. vo welcome to the most adventurous outback ever. The allnew subaru outback.

Get allinone allergy relief for 24 hours, with flonase. After initially downplaying the severity of the outbreak, china took drastic measures to control the coronavirus and the lives of its citizens. Big brother was now watching and giving orders. Drones flew through the streets ordering people to wear face masks or return immediately to their homes. This training video shows what would happen to anyone who disobeyed. Despite their draconian actions, the contagion spread. Cruise ships carrying thousands of passengers were placed under lockdown, but instead of acting as a quarantine, the ships became floating incubators. I just took temperatures and asked general questions, and i guess in the course of doing that, they found ten more people that had the virus. The onward spread seemed relentless. Nigeria has confirmed its first case of coronavirus. Three new cases of the wuhan coronavirus. The deadly coronavirus is now in new zealand. Theories about the virus soon spread across the internet triggering an outbreak of rumors, conspiracies, and dangerous misinformation. The World Health Organization has described coronavirus as being an info demic. People are starting to panic, and people are starting to get scared, and people are looking for information online. This man is director at londons center for analysis of social media. You can find examples of conspiracy theorists who are worried about ufos orthopedic the flat earth or the illuminati or some kind of zionist conspiracy. They will now leap on a new, high, attentiongrabbing event like coronavirus in order to push that message. Only was the perfeine was th to go viral. Chinese have labs there in wuhan. Theyre involved in chemical and biological experiments. Bill gates has got an obsession with pandemics. Genetic manipulation of viruses to make them worse than they actually are. This is indeed a bioweapon. Ive been saying that all along. Coronavirus, the new democrat hoax, just like impeachment. This is not new with coronavirus. There are always conspiracy theories when theres a new disease that people are afraid of. Dr. Anthony fauci, arguably the most respected virologist in the world, was called to testify before an urgent meeting of the Senate Health committee. Im thinking back now about 35 or 37 years ago. I sat in this room trying to explain to the committee then that hiv was not a virus that was developed by the cia. Its crazy, but this is what happens when you have outbreaks. Theres a lot of misinformation. We live in an attention economy, and there is money to be made and eyeballs to be grabbed online. And coronavirus presents an opportunity to do that. So people are spreading rumors about the coronavirus to get clicks. I would 100 guarantee that. There are even young influencers who are faking coronavirus diagnoses for what they call clout, for influence for attention. The misinformation fueled panic just as governments were taking ever more restrictive steps. Pilgrimages to mecca have been canceled. Paris iconic Louvre Museum closed for three days. This milan physician shfashion ahead, but there was no one there to watch. And sporting events were played in empty stadiums. Back in hong kong, i met a young journalist. If you think that you are sur undered literally by this bug thats out there, its terrifying. Varsz. The situation is even worse for her parents. They live in wuhan where the outbreak began. My parents have not left their apartment for almost a month now. They tried to reassure me that theyre doing fine, and they always sound very cheerful and upbeat. Are people afraid . Are you afraid waking up in the morning, touching things, talking to people . Everyone to a certain extent are afraid, are scared because to see the number of people that have been dying because of this virus, you do see theres a legitimate concern. Frances lee understanding is a financial analyst based in hong kong. He thinks this will have a lasting impact. What is it like to be here and live here . Well, i think its heartbreaking to see Something Like that. He knew almost from the beginning that the virus would have huge repercussions for the global economy. China is such an important Manufacturing Center now. It produce Something Like 50 of the industrial goods, consumer goods of the world. This entire world suffers. The economic effects of the virus could even be seen from space. These satellite images from nasa show a huge drop in pollution as Factory Production in china slowed down. At one stage, President Trump blamed the democrats, saying they were exploiting the virus to score political points against him. This is their new hoax. The Trump Administration seemed to minimize the threat. We have contained this. I wont say airtight, but pretty close to airtight. But soon the virusinduced slowdown of chinas economy started to ripple across the globe. The u. S. Stock market plummeted. A brutal week. Wall street just wrapping up its single worst week for the market. The dow is going to open down almost 1,000 points. Nearly 4 trillion in market value over the past one week since the financial crisis. Really a monumental selloff on wall street. As the dow crashed, trillions of dollars were wiped off balance sheets. The white house became more vocal. We are taking this incredibly serious here in the United States. We are doing the most aggressive containment efforts in modern history. I went to washington, d. C. To the National Institute of allergy and Infectious Diseases and spoke with the director, dr. Anthony fauci. Were dealing with an evolving situation. Were dealing with clearly an emerging Infectious Disease that has now reached outbreak proportions and likely pandemic proportions. Its not confined to one country anymore the way it was when it first evolved and emerged in china. So this is clearly a major challenge to Global Health. The race is on to find a vaccine. Scientists across federal agencies are sharing research and working together, theyve isolated the pathogen, identified its dna, and are now finding out how to kill it. Are you close . Are you optimistic . Well, i mean were always cautiously optimistic. The difficulty with vaccines is the time element that it takes. The thing thats sobering is that its not a vaccine were going to have next month. So were going to have to tough it out through this evolution of what were seeing now of new cases in the absence of a vaccine. Just three days after suggesting the coronavirus was part of a democratic hoax, President Trump and his team were meeting big pharma, telling them to hurry up and produce a vaccine. I dont know what the time will be. I dont think they know what the time will be. Ive heard very quick numbers, a matter of months. A vaccine that you make and Start Testing is not a vaccine thats deployable. That is going to be at the earliest, a year to a year and a half no matter how fast you go. Get it done. We need it. We want it fast. Coming up, the coronavirus hits the u. S. A man in his 50s died at a hospital just outside of seattle. The death rate is rising. The question is, what can we do to stop the spread . For this kind of problem, the worlds got to work together, or otherwise were toast. At leaf blowers. You should be mad your neighbor always wants to hang out.

Applebees 25 cent boneless wings are back in your choice of three sauces. Two months since the first outbreak. Around half the countries in the world had identified coronavirus cases. The majority were just in four countries china, italy, iran, and south korea. In iran, the virus hit the government like nowhere else with dozens of officials infected. The Deputy Health minister even went on state tv to state tv to assure the public not to worry. Coughing, as he did it. The deputy minister tested positive for the virus the day after the interview. One of the biggest outbreaks was in south korea. Officials believe the virus was spread by a religious sect. Church members were worshipping and singing, tightly packed together, sitting on the floor. Even after it was known the virus was spreading. In italy, the countrys Prime Minister placed the whole nation, 60 million people, on lockdown after a steep rise in the number of coronavirus cases. All but essential travel curtailed. Bars and restaurants were, initially, allowed to remain open but only until 6 00 p. M. Then, they were closed, too. Public advisories were issued telling people to stay three feet apart and not kiss when they meet. Criticism is growing of the u. S. Government for failing to quickly implement effective testing for the pathogen. For this kind of problem, the worlds got to work together. Or otherwise, were toast. Dr. Thomas coffman is the dean of Duke Universitys medical school in singapore and helping the city fight the coronavirus outbreak. This virus keeps jumping from place to place. Well, it certainly has that potential and because of travel and leakage between societies, the potential for spread is really substantial. Are we going to have to start quarantining people around the world . And telling people stay in your homes . I think in the initial phases, yes. Do you think the United States would have to do Something Like what china did . Lock lock up tens of millions of people . Have soldiers bringing food to the door . If there are big outbreaks in in confined to specific areas, then thats a strategy that can be used. The alternative is just to let it spread. And, you know, the problem with that is the number of people who die can be quite substantial. Inevitably, in late february, the coronavirus reached the United States. Authorities, today, announcing the first u. S. Death from the deadly coronavirus that is spreading across the globe. Coronavirus. And the first death reported in the United States. A man in his 50s died at a hospital just outside of seattle. And there are new concerns about how the virus is being transmitted inside the u. S. Washington state declared a state of emergency. So did florida. Then california and new york. Several others followed suit. Right now, you certainly shouldnt be panicking. But to deny that there is a threat is being unrealistic. Its clear that theres a threat. Worryingly, for the scientists, one of the patients infected in california hadnt traveled near wuhan or any other known hotspot. The first instance of transmission known as community spread. It may come to a point where, when you have enough community spread, that you switch from trying to contain it from coming into the country or contain it from spreading, and trying to protect yourself and your community. Coordinating what has become a global fight against the virus is done here. At the World Health Organization. Established after world war ii, specifically to battle transnational epidemics. It means theyre ready for moments like this. Here, theyre pulling information from Health Ministries around the world and Holding Daily briefings.
