New York has the largest Chinese population outside of China, 682,265 people. It just seems unlikely that not one of them (or any of the other 8 million New Yorkers) travelled to Asia over the last couple months and came back sick or carrying coronavirus.
you can never know, those wuhan people has been all over the world if you look at a flight tracker map. And now that even non asians are suspect if they have been in a room with an infected person.
heck, the white UK citizen caught it in Singapore, then spread to people in France and UK. what a leap.
