Topping the coronavirus news is our 60th case, a patient at UC Davis medical center in Sacramento, with no known links to travelers. The San Francisco Chronicle reports the patient was apparently transferred there from somewhere in Solano County, California while already intubated. The CDC initially refused to test the patient due to their lack of contacts, and still hopes to find the missing link to China. Several health care workers are under voluntary quarantine.
CoronaChan never sleeps, and there are plenty of other developments to report. Reuters reports Japan will closed all primary and secondary schools for the month of March. With 505 cases yesterday, South Korea has taken over China in daily reported cases (though what is actually going on with China's numbers is unclear) and has hit 1766 cases as of this blogging. The virus is also spreading among the South Korean military, though the case count among the US forces permanently encamped there remains at 2.
The case count for Germ Ship #2, the Diamond Princess, has risen to 705 with 4 deaths.
Italy's count has gone up to 528 cases with 14 deaths.
The rumored 50 Iranian deaths have still not shown up in their case counts, which currently stand at 275 cases with 26 deaths. Ilna news reports the sad passing of a 23-year-old women's soccer player from Qom.
