The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19
What is thought to be known about this coronavirus/Wuhan Pneumonia, so far:
The outbreak began in Wuhan, China. Population ~11 million. The city is now under lock down.
According to the CDC the risk to the general American public is considered low at this time.
In it's early stages, a minimum of 500+ people have been infected according to the Chinese government, although many believe this be grossly under reported, and that the true number is in the thousands.
17 dead,
Fault the guidelines, not me. I'm pointing out that these states are not meeting the guidelines that require a standard of fewer positive cases as tested OR fewer positive % of cases of time (the later becoming more relevant as the case measurement increases). I can tell you in my state that shows level, we meet neither one. Our state is not following the guidelines anyways so it doesn't matter.
