A physician's assistant who became New Jersey's first case of coronavirus has spoken out about the disease from his hospital bed and warns others to take the threat seriously.
James Cai, 32, fell ill last weekend while attending a medical conference at a hotel in Times Square.
He has been hospitalized since Tuesday at the Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, New Jersey. So far, 13 people have been tested for COVID-19 in New Jersey. The other 11 cases have come back negative.
'Every day is getting worse,' Cai said Monday during an interview with CBS, adding that 'it happened so quick'.
'A lot of people say it’s OK, don’t wear masks. I don’t believe that,' Cai said.
Cai, who works and lives in Manhattan and Fort Lee, New Jersey, said the virus is not one to be taken lightly.
In New York, where Gov Andrew Cuomo recently declared a state of emergency, cases of the coronavirus have shot to 142.

Remember when Matt Gaetz wore a gas mask to make fun of people worried about coronavirus.
That was so hilarious. What a guy.
Not to worry, you have a much greater chance of dying from old age than from the coronavirus.
Breaking?
American, 21, living in the quarantine zone in Wuhan reveals what day-to-day life is REALLY like, from finding their apartment had been PADLOCKED shut to sourcing food and medicine
No, I never put someything in Breaking news. If it happened it was an accident. Or someone else did it.
Right on que, you and your despicable ilk are here to flood FR with your fear mongering to generate as much panic as you can. You’ve been doing it for over a week. It’s disgusting.
More people have died trying to testify against the Clintons than coronavirus
There was a post from a physician on twitter that gave the respirator settings that were working for their patients and said that maintaining the patients prone was more successful.
Google
“Prone ventilation refers to the delivery of mechanical ventilation with the patient lying in the prone position. ... Prone positioning improves gas exchange by ameliorating the ventral-dorsal transpulmonary pressure difference, reducing dorsal lung compression, and improving lung perfusion”
At least that's what your death certificate will say...
32.
On supplemental O2 looks like.
In the hospital.
It might only kill the old and people with health problems.
Looks like the youngsters might win gigantic hospital bills for their troubles.

RummyChick is obviously short selling stocks...
Funny because I see articles from people there as well, and in italy, and see them saying it’s more or less their daily life, just boring because they cant go anywhere. A few even say that people outside are more afraid than those inside.
They don’t look Asian to me...
Not really.
I have been exposed to a Chinese woman dry coughing from her lower lung.
I have chosen to self quarantine while I await what happens...I already have symptoms. Might just be a cold. Probably just a cold
But I don’t know yet.
Would you like me to cough some Wuhan on you and see if you live?
Btw, others here have people they know that have it or have been exposed and waiting for testing.
Says the guy who didn’t take it seriously and likely infected others... He should be fired and banned from any medical profession.
