On December 31, 2019, Chinese officials announced that 27 people in Wuhan, the capital of Central China’s Hubei province, had been infected with a new strain of the coronavirus. Since then, the number of cases of the contagious affliction labeled 2019-nCoV, COVID-19, or Wuhan virus, have rapidly increased, with new cases being reported daily. On Thursday, January 30, 2020, The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the outbreak a global emergency, highlighting the urgency for a rapid coordinated international response to curb this global health risk.

        By travel. People got on a plane without knowing they had it (the symptoms are very close to the common cold's) and when they got here, they passed it to people that were near them. Then those people did the same. And so on.

          An infected traveler from China likely came to the US and sadly infected other people

                Its kinda scary coz 45% of my school is Chinese and lots of Chinese International students straight from China are coming to my school. People from Wuhan are dying. There are more than 75,000 cases and my Chinese friend said that people who leave their house in Wuhan with the coronavirus can be arrested.

                  Sure, 75,000 cases, but not 75,000 confirmed cases. There are 40,000 CONFIRMED cases
