Boston, which reported its second case of COVID-19 on March 2, may actually have had some 2,300 infections by the start of that month, according to Northeastern University researchers.
A team led by Alessandro Vespignani, a professor in its College of Science, estimated that COVID-19 was likely spreading in a number of American cities by Feb. 1 when much of the focus was still on China. Its modeling suggests that there could have been a combined total of some 28,000 infections by March 1 in Boston, Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco and New York when the official combined total for these five cities at the time was reported as just 23 confirmed cases.
The study estimated 2,300 cases in Boston by March 1 and another 2,300 in Seattle. It also estimated 3,300 cases in Chicago and 9,300 in San Francisco by that date. New York City is estimated to have had 10,700 undetected cases by March 1.
Massachusetts confirmed its first case Feb. 1 involving a University of Massachusetts-Boston student who had traveled to Wuhan. It confirmed its second case on March 2 with a woman who had traveled to Italy.

Many around there had already known someone or of someone that was in its proximity. Flights were banned and people returning with luggage were being given wide berth. they'd give nervous laughs if you ordered a Corona. Polite declines of sharing some chips. Small stuff.
The number is whatever Marty Walsh says it is.
I left for Vacation in lovely place warm and Sunny on 2//23 and I knew this was going to explode, got on the Plane to my first destination before I found out that the Know it all As* holes from BIOGEN had a conference the day before at the Weston Marriott downtown on the Harborfront. We came home 3 weeks later, showered, shaved and split.
How stupid can you be Biogen?
Could our 7:00AM flight have carried those Passengers the day before?
They should be sued for Negligence.
