More cases in U.S. today. Numbers will grow quickly as screening gets in place and existing cases (numbering probably in low thousands) start being identified. Getting stricken Americans rapidly diagnosed is key to treatment, containment where possible, mitigation to slow spread
How many of the US cases came from that Princess cruise ship?
Oh, never-mind, I found it!
The tally includes 40 passengers from the Diamond Princess cruise ship!
“Numbers will grow quickly as screening gets in place and existing cases (numbering probably in low thousands) start being identified. “
Several thousand known infections ensures several million.
It is not possible to contact trace for several thousand.
Broken containment.
