Wuhan Coronavirus: C.D.C. Identifies First U.S. Case in Washington State - The New York Times
A man in Washington State is infected with a new respiratory virus. Federal officials plan to expand screenings for the infection at major airports.
A man in Washington State is infected with the Wuhan coronavirus, the first confirmed case in the United States of a mysterious respiratory infection that has killed at least six people and sickened hundreds more in Asia, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced on Tuesday.
Federal officials also announced expanded screenings for the infection at major airports in the United States. In addition to New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco, airports in Atlanta and Chicago will begin examining passengers arriving from Wuhan, China, for signs of illness.
==================================================
This is pretty much how the 1917-1919 Spanish Flu propagated. In the end it killed 50 million people worldwide. That's comparable to the number of deaths caused by WW2.
