CDC Says Coronavirus Has Spread In the U.S. For The First Time

A person living with the patient who was diagnosed with the coronavirus in Chicago has tested positive for the virus, marking this as the first instance of the virus being person to person spread in the United States.

According to NBC News, the new patient lives with a Chicago woman in her 60s who was diagnosed after returning from Wuhan, China, on January 13th.  Wuhan, China, is known as the epicenter of the outbreak that’s now sickened upward of 8,000 people, killing 170 in China.

Shortly after returning, the unidentified woman started experiencing symptoms, including a fever and shortness of breath.

Public Health officials claim the woman had “very limited movement outside her home” following her return from China and did not take any public transit, nor did she attend any large gatherings.

Six confirmed cases have now been diagnosed with the new coronavirus in the U.S., two each in Illinois and California, and one each in Arizona and Washington state.

  1. Why was she allowed to come to the US from Coronavirus ground zero? Why?

  2. Terrifying. It only reiterates the importance to me of using a penis health cream and staying clean and hygienic as much as you can in this day and age. Something for me that has worked brilliantly is just using a penis health cream really works and it’s extraordinarily inexpensive and comes with a money back guarantee if you use Man1 Man Oil. Good luck ya’ll.
