This is the first.

Hopefully there will be no more.

I changes nothing in the situation on the ground.

This remains a media messaging war of the highest order.

This case is likely travel related from China. Just a guess.

I’m curious about the age/comorbidity information with this patient.

The article also said another woman in her 50’s is recovering well.

I wonder if they are going to tell us such key information at the age, ethnicity, general health status before coming down with the virus, general life history, and smoking history of this person.

Is this the guy who was being treated by the robot as one of the first infected here?

And we have 40,000 people die in the US every year from the common flu That works out at over a 100 day. Why are you not posting about that and are instead posting about an measly one supposed death from coronavirus since the coronavirus broke out in January?
The mods really have to stop these obviously paid, fear mongering alarmist trolls.

The flu is not news.

“The mods really have to stop these obviously paid, fear mongering alarmist trolls.”

No.

That guy was tested, given an experimental drug, and made a full recovery.

My tinfoil hat tells me one reason they’re not testing is they don’t have enough of that drug for everyone.

OK I get it. One death from a disease in two months is news, but 100 deaths a day from a far more serious disease is not news.
And you can check up on when I checked up, Easy enough to do.
Point remains, something has to be done about this concerted, coordinated disinformation and fear mongering by a bunch of deeply embedded paid trolls.

It’s not statistically possible for someone to die yet - there’s only 60 infected people in this country; and this is no worse than the flu (/sarcasm)

Perhaps you should make a list and send it to Jim.

He enjoys a good joke.

I don't need to. Trolls by their nature, almost always overreach and hang themselves by their own petard. You are not the first paid troll on FR. And you wont be the last. It happens every single election here.
