A second U.S. case of the new coronavirus has been confirmed in a patient in Chicago, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The patient, a woman in her 60s and a Chicago resident, had traveled to Wuhan, China, in December. She was admitted to the hospital and is in stable condition, according to Illinois health officials.
"We understand that some people are worried about this virus and how it may impact Americans," Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases said at a Friday news briefing.
"The immediate risk to the U.S. public is low at this time," Messonnier said.

Where are you seeing this? Sorry, don’t trust internet rumors.
sorry. KFI radio yesterday afternoon John and Ken show. Don’t have any follow up and on my way to the store.
You can travel around all the threads and poo poo all you want ..but the fact is that people do talk and they do post.
AND
DECEMBER dovetails with the admitted DECEMBER in this article.
Please don’t pretend it couldn’t have been here in December and the public wasn’t told
YOU KNOW BETTER
How would you know what I know? Please spread fear and panic all you want. I get the CDC updates on this the first was issued This week. January.. It will end what it will be but you are the one spreading poo poo as you call it. Ill wait for fact.
and btw, it is IDIOTIC to believe that this virus couldn’t have been here in December since China admitted to it in DECEMBER when it was first disclosed.
And it is doubtful it was disclosed with only the first case.
Because you are an MD. And as a MD you should know.
Hell, even LAWYERS in my family know..and they aren’t MDs..just have worked on cases involving MDs.
Because no cases exist until the CDC issues a report.
COME ON.
As an MD, you can’t be this clueless.
Doubtful they knew what it was with the first case. Again Ill wait for fact not panic mongering. And I have a good deal more skin in the game because I will be treating these cases. I remember the first year of H1N1. influenza. not bioengineered. Devastating to young people who contracted it. How many epidemics have you treated?
Not clueless. Preferring to wait for fact. Have a nice day.
Do you have a link?
Probably not.
I’d go short.
Surgical masks are probably adequate, AND there is a national stockpile of N95 that would be released in the event of need.
So at least you admit there could have been MANY cases here in December since China admitted to it as far back as December..and people fly in and out of China every day to the US.
MD’s misdiagnosis all the time. I had a young relative die from a misdiagnosis..or rather failure to diagnose the real problem. Probably wasn’t technically malpractice.
And it is possible in these beginning cases they had no reason to suspect this virus in the beginning.
APT up .95 right now. I will probably sell soon. They do have options. I have stock and options.
If there have been many cases here since December its no big deal is it? Or have i missed tripping over the dead in the streets? You cant have it both ways. I have seen no more or more severe respiratory illness than in any other January.
Market started selling off as news of new cases hit. APT should be good for another day as more cases are revealed
It tells me he's in Washington state.
not on the net keeping it quiet perhaps but reported on cable news this morning
