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.

                Not trying to cause panic, but hardly anyone was sick with it at first. Viruses spread.

                I know people say that the flu has killed more people but the Chinese Government is trying to hide this virus. It seems like they just don't care if people out of there country get it. They should be trying to help cure, not make this situation worst.
