SEATTLE - Six people have now died from the coronavirus in the Puget Sound area and at least 12 others have been infected, health officials said Monday, as King County's top executive issued an emergency declaration in response to the outbreak.

The newest victims in King County include:

- A man in his 70s, a resident of LifeCare who was hospitalized at EvergreenHealth. The man had underlying health conditions and died Sunday.

- A woman in her 70s, a resident of LifeCare, was hospitalized at EvergreenHealth. She had underlying health conditions and died Sunday.

- A woman in her 80s, who was hospitalized at EvergreenHealth and was one of the earlier reported infected and died Sunday.

- A Snohomish County resident at EvergreenHealth has also died but details of that patient have not been given.

Gov. Jay Inslee earlier issued a statewide emergency declaration Saturday after a man in Kirkland died of COVID-19, the first such reported death in the United States.

“I believe it was 2 fatalities yesterday.”

Yep, it was.

Yikes, I’d hate to be one of the caregivers or first responders at that nursing home.

God Bless our nursing homes and what lies ahead...and the staff who care for them. Have probably not prepared for this.

Hmmm. A virus designed to take out retirees. Interesting. A socialist’s dream.

Lifecare may be filing for bankruptcy over this, I suspect.

I wonder how this virus is going to affect Trump rallies if this virus really starts erupting across the nation- Democrat rallies won’t be affected because noone goes to them anyways-

The headline should read four patients at one long term acute center where the sickest patients go whose staff did not provide proper isolation have died

Geeze

I believe that the first responders at this hospital are self-quarantining at home.

Are you a little disappointed that you and your cohorts can’t generate enough panic to keep the markets down today?

For the hand wavers, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who stood beside Trump during the press conference, said very clearly on Fox News yesterday, "It clearly is much more lethal, if you want to call it that, than the typical seasonal flu."

How many died at this nursing home last year when they were written up for allowing the flu to run rampant there? Inquiring minds want to know.

Actually not a pure cold hearted capitalist’s nightmare.

Would solve the SS and medicare $$ problem.

NOT that I want that.

Mommy is 87 and aunt Fran is 86.

Aunt Fran is kind of a pain in thee neck though.
