that's NOT a total... it's unknown origin.

As America scrambled to understand the scope of an escalating public health crisis, the number of known coronavirus cases surpassed 1,000 on Tuesday, signaling that the virus was spreading widely in communities on both coasts and in the center of the country.
As of Wednesday evening, at least 1,190 people in 41 states and Washington, D.C., have tested positive for coronavirus, according to a New York Times database, and at least 37 patients with the virus have died.
The first known U.S. coronavirus case was announced on Jan. 21 in Washington State, but the pace of diagnosis has quickened significantly in recent weeks.
At the start of this month, 70 cases had been reported in this country, most of them tied to overseas travel. Since then, new cases have poured in, first by the dozens, then the hundreds.
A majority of the cases were in Washington State, California and New York, where everyday life swiftly began to change. Businesses closed. Colleges canceled class. Governors urged people to avoid crowds.
In Massachusetts, dozens of new cases were announced on Tuesday, and in South Dakota, the governor announced the state’s five first cases, including one man who died. The number of states with no reported cases stands at about a dozen, declining by the day.
The New York Times is engaged in a comprehensive effort to track details about every confirmed case in the United States, collecting information from federal, state and local officials around the clock. The numbers in this article are being updated several times a day based on the latest information our journalists are gathering from around the country.
The number of patients treated in the United States remains a small fraction of those with the virus overseas, where thousands of people have died

and how many millions of cases of flu? and how many thousands of deaths?
that's NOT a total... it's unknown origin.
Of course its not the flu.
It hasn’t spread near as much as the flu, and far fewer people catch the flu and get better without knowing what they had.
And of course, the flu incites far fewer nutburgers who get angry at you for not caring about it when you are young and healthy enough to be in no danger.
Yes. See my 14.
12,000 Americans died from H1N1 virus in 2009-2010. Stock market went straight up throughout.
“It has a 14-24 day incubation period.”
Jan 21 is 50 days ago.
“It was been here for a while. Most would just shake it off. All the while shedding virus”.
Reference?
"Dr" Ezekiel Emmanuel should be pleased!
Everything that has been written since mid December.
You know if you spent half the time you spend trolling everyone, and just read some of the information, you would not come across as a flu bro.
But yeah...this will just float by.
It’s not the flu, influenza.
Flu is more common and kills more.
This can cause a harsher disease.
In January you chicken littles were claiming there’d be 100 million infected by now.
And you can’t even provide a reference for the things you write/make up.
Government worker or lawyer are you?
Did we? I guess we are wrong. You are right. Feel better.
Wanna buy some final four tickets? Cheap?
Hang in there, ol’ Finn.
It is good to hear a sharp word on the matter.
Meanwhile in other news 20,000 people have already died of the regular flu but its just not scary enough to close all the schools.
Da fouk?
Yep. I noticed that Chinese migrants were running small textiles operations in Italy a few years back, too.
Police state.
I think it comes to a .000002% infection rate.
