The man is married to the Chicago woman who got sick from the virus after she returned from a trip to Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the outbreak. There have been cases reported of the infectious virus spreading to others in a household or workplace in China and elsewhere.

The latest patient had not been in China.

The Chicago woman returned from central China on Jan. 13, then last week went to a hospital with symptoms and was diagnosed with the viral illness. She and her husband, both in their 60s, are hospitalized.

Experts have said they expected additional cases, and that at least some limited spread of the disease in the United States was likely. Health officials think the new virus spreads mainly from droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes, similar to how the flu spreads.

Sorry - I should have read the rest of the comments!

Thanks for the link to the site, a good source of information. Although I don’t trust China’s numbers.

Dun it a purpose. By golly, if she dies, she wants to make sure he does as well so he won’t be hit on by the hot neighbor.

Read that again and think of the implications of more people dying from it than recovered from it.

At least 8,000 potentially recovered, 171 fatalities. The 143 number is severe cases, likely with people who were sick before they got the virus.

“They would be the last ones to go to any hospital for treatment.”

True, Dat! We’d better check the marshy areas, LOL! ;)
