CORONAVIRUS: Latest Update

Health officials have now confirmed 108 cases of coronavirus in the United States with nine deaths.

The confirmed cases are spread out over 15 states, with the highest number in Washington state, which is where the deaths have occurred. The World Health Organization says there are 92,000 confirmed cases around the world and more than 3,000 deaths — most of which are in China. (People)

Hot Takes:

  • All nine deaths in the U.S. involved people with pre-existing conditions.
  • We’ve heard all about how to keep ourselves safe with hand washing and elbow-sneezing, so just keep it up.
  • More cases are confirmed everyday and that will likely continue for a while.
  • China has reported a decline in the number of new cases.
