On Saturday night, 31 states and the District of Columbia reported at least one confirmed or presumptive positive case, with those cases totaling 372. Including those infected people repatriated from abroad, and those trapped aboard the quarantined cruise ship Grand Princess off San Francisco, the total is at least 442.
Washington state had the most cases with 103, including 16 deaths, followed by New York with 89 cases and California, with 81 cases and one death. Florida, which reports 11 cases, has also seen two fatalities.
In the interior of the country, a number of more sparsely populated states reported their first cases on Saturday, including Missouri, Indiana, Minnesota and Nebraska.
In Nebraska, there were dramatic scenes as a woman who tested positive for the virus was rushed from a community hospital to the nation's leading biocontainment unit at he University of Nebraska Medical Center Omaha.
The 36-year-old was photographed being transported to the facility in a hi-tech isolation pod late Friday.

Even though she did not need me to do so, I defended her from a disgusting response. She has a medical condition which puts her in a high risk category and she was essentially called a liar. The same poster then went on to write how he was “Saving Western Civilization.” I think I’ll believe someone who claims to have a medical disorder over someone claiming to be Captain America.
This is THE official facility where they’re testing possible drugs and doing COVID19 research. Not sure if it’s deferal but if not, they’re working with the feds. It’s been in the fedgov covid task force pressers.
I was being sarcastic.
That’s why I added the “Right” at the end of my post.
I was making fun of the posters in FR who are trying to trivialize what’s going on here.
That guy on youtube leads all of his sessions with that.
Case.
Case.
Case.
Cluster.
Cluster.
BOOM!
Nobody knows how bad this is. BUT - at least for firefighters, etc. in my area (Seattle), if they were in contact with any infected people, they have been put on quarantine.
So these doctors and medics might just be wanting to make sure they don’t get sent into quarantine. Won’t make much difference how many hospital beds there are if no doctors are around.
Looks like a scene from “The Andromeda Strain.”
Remember that movie?
Stop it...ooo...you’re scaring people....oooo...you’re panicking people...waahh...don’t you have a life.?..wah, wah!
/pathetically demented FReepers.
Well, notwithstanding my smarmy rant, I DO agree with you there. Prayers for her.
Okay. Well, I disagree that the CDC is aware every single case of COVID-19 in existence on American soil. You can believe the federal government is omniscient if you like.
