Six people have died in Washington state as the United States grapples with more than 100 cases of the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Five deaths are from Seattle and King County, county health official Jeffrey Duchin said Monday.

The sixth death happened in Snohomish County, said Heather Thomas, spokeswoman with the Snohomish Health District.

So far, every death from novel coronavirus in the United States has been in Washington state.

A recent surge of cases nationwide has prompted new travel restrictions, school closures and emergency declarations.

But now is not the time to panic, US Surgeon General Dr. Jerome Adams said.

[where's_the_Outrage?]

Panic, we're all going to die!!!!!

Trump's fault.

[bigbob]

Exactly as Trump and his team explained would happen on Saturday.

[Trump.Deplorable]

6 cases in a SJW run state that didn’t report them till after the deaths happen

Too bad these fools want to play with innocent people’s lives just so they can chant “orange man bad”

When this is over, that state needs to be investigated, that crappy nursing home needs to be sued out of existence, that nursing home has problems last year with the flu, now this?

Something isn’t right

[PGalt]

CNN...now there is a credible source. Perhaps their social credit score wasn’t high enough, or they checked their voting records, or they were gun owners. Pull the plug nurse. They can ECHO any NARRATIVE that fits the agenda. It’s how propagandists roll. Right PJ Goebbels?

[Wuli]

Make them define “surge”!!!

[Hieronymus]

Now isn’t the time to panic—there is never a good time to panic.

That said, the best time to prep was four + weeks ago.

I started Jan 25, and sleep a lot better with what I’ve got in and what I’ve got on the way.

Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

(That’s Kipling FWIW—I get more real consolation from him than the Pope. But I’m weird by most people’s standards. I also own a Berkey). And if you ain’t into that, we don’t give a d***

[dfwgator]

The “surge” happened weeks ago, we’re just testing for it, now.

[DarthVader]

CNN is the number one supplier of Deep State propaganda!

[SmokingJoe]

So?
Over 6000 have died from the common flu since the start of the year. Where is the alarmist story from CNN on that?
Meanwhile, the markets were up a massive over 1200 today. CNN’s propaganda is not working.

[SmokingJoe]

Yep.

[Blue Highway]

100 cases now? I just read it was 84 yesterday. There were 16 new cases today? Where are they?

[9422WMR]

China Flu
Hong Kong Fluey

[jdsteel]

1,000 Americans died of H1N1 when 0bammy was Prez BEFORE he called it an emergency.

Just sayin’.

[theoldmarine]

350 million American “grappling” with 100 cases... give me a break!

[Captain Peter Blood]

Keep in mind 5 were in a nursing home.

[Valpal1]

That Kipling poem is one of my all time fave. So very instructive.

[Valpal1]

and there will probably be more from the same nursing home.

[Nifster]

At least four were from the same assisted care facility. Check the staff

The following are global numbers from Worldometer.
