Coronavirus outbreak panic spreads globally
The World Health Organization has now classified the risk of coronavirus spreading globally as “very high.” Over a dozen cases have now been confirmed in the U.S. as countries like New Zealand, Nigeria, and Belarus have become the latest countries to report new cases. South Korea has seen the largest single-day surge with over 800 new cases, making their 3,100 infections the largest outbreak outside of China. Michael George and Charlie D’Agata report on how the U.S. and the rest of the world are handling the growing threat.

Almost everyone in the US has direct connection to the Chinese. Walmart, Target, Dollar Stores, etc.
jasmine k how does Chinese food cause you to get corona virus wtf lol. Anyone can have it not just the Chinese for your information.
@JVONROCK you don’t get it by eating Chinese food 🤣
@El O
I really hope that will be the case. :/
I tend to think that some of these people may have contacted the virus through the mail, just a thought
Populeux Music I just received a chinese Creality 3D printer last week. Took me a while to finally open it, although it’s likely been at a German warehouse for quite a while (the Chinese trick our toll and tax system and make the field even less equal for our own work market). Sino-nazis.
That’s a good point. Also during these times don’t use cash since it’s in contact with so many people.
It’s reasonable
Or food
Meanwhile South Korea tested thousands of ppl in a few days… Hmmmm
I knew that
@Karlie Sun I don’t think China acted actively. I mean, they did it but it was too late. If they had listened to what Li Wen Liang said, the situation wouldn’t be this worse. It’s time for China to apologize to other country, not the time to compliment themselves.
if you do not test anyone, then you do not report new cases.
And if u go around testing random people it can violate the bill of rights
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/database/index.php?pageid=event_update&edis_id=EH-20200131-70586-USA 60+ ENTIRE NURSING HOME IN Washington State & Neb, Mass 371 affected, Tx 15 infected, Calif. 545 affected/contaminated. Mexico 6,500. Situation Update No.11. 3/1/20. Governor of Washington declared a state of emergency Saturday after a man died there of COVID-19, the first such reported death in USA. More than 50 people in a nursing facility are sick
and being tested for the virus.Gov. Jay Inslee directed state agencies to use
“all resources necessary” to prepare for and respond to the coronavirus outbreak. The declaration also allows the use of the Washington National Guard, if necessary. “We will continue to work toward a day where no one dies from this virus,” the governor vowed. Health officials in California, Oregon and Washington state are worried about the novel coronavirus
spreading through West Coast communities because a growing number of people are
being infected despite not having visited an area where there was an outbreak,
nor apparently been in contact with anyone who had. The man who died was in his
50s, had underlying health conditions and no history of travel or contact with
a known COVID-19 case, health officials in Washington state said at a news
conference. A spokesperson for EvergreenHealth Medical Center, Kayse Dahl, said
the person died in the facility in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland.Dr. Frank
Riedo, medical director of Infection Control at Evergreen, said local hospitals
are seeing people with severe coronavirus symptoms but it’s probable that there
are more cases in the community.”This is the tip of the iceberg,” he
said. [Without testing kits available, the diagnosis of COVID in USA is being
kept hidden from the USA public, by the WHITEHOUSE GOV.]. The health officials
reported two cases of COVID-19 virus connected to a long-term care facility in
the same suburb, Life Care Center of Kirkland. One is a Life Care worker, a
woman in her 40s who is in satisfactory condition at a hospital, and the other
is a woman in her 70s and a resident at Life Care who is hospitalized in
serious condition. Neither had traveled abroad.”In addition, over 50
individuals associated with Life Care are reportedly ill with respiratory
symptoms or hospitalized with pneumonia or other respiratory conditions of
unknown cause and are being tested for COVID-19,” Seattle and King County
officials said. “Additional positive cases are expected.”Amy Reynolds
of the Washington state health department said in a brief telephone interview:
“We are dealing with an emergency evolving situation.”A growing
number of cases in California, Washington state and Oregon are confounding
authorities because the infected people hadn’t recently traveled overseas or
had any known close contact with a traveler or an infected person.The U.S. has
about 60 confirmed cases. Worldwide, the number of people sickened by the virus
hovered Friday around 83,000, and there were more than 2,800 deaths, most of
them in China.
{See enlarged map, look for red/yellow hazmat icons} COVID 19 also in Neb,
Mass, Texas & Calif. Click each date under SITUATION tab to see other USA
areas, not given by POTUS /CDC. There are inadequate number of testing kits, and ones used to test for the COVID virus failed by CDC due to Trump laid off 1,600 scientists in 2018. NY is
creating newer testing kits in their own health dept. Feb. 8:Another plane carrying people evacuated from the virus zone in China landed Friday at a Marine Corps base just outside San Diego.The U.S. government-chartered jet landed at midmorning at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar.No information about the number of people aboard was released. A briefing was scheduled for late afternoon.Those aboard are among hundreds of Americans who have been evacuated due to the viral outbreak centred in the Wuhan region of China.In addition to a previous flight to Miramar, other evacuation flights to California have brought people to March Air Reserve Base in Southern California and Travis Air Force Base between San Francisco and Sacramento.All evacuees are being quarantined for 14 days and monitored for any signs of illness. Trump allowed these planes into USA with infected passengers among the non-infected and not enough testing kits for all to check. People released back into USA population without being tested.
Big brain
Good idea
Sometimes going through the comments is more entertaining and more informative than watching an entire video.
Oh I didn’t even watch the video
Sovan Nanda I’m doing that right now
Yes
🤣😭😭 that’s exactly what I was doing the whole time😭😭
Responding quickly?!?! A nurse in CA says the hospital staff doesn’t have enough masks & supplies. Yeah America is Ready?!?! (Right)
California is a s******* those people should get the coronavirus and died I hope it runs rapid through hollyweird can someone with the coronavirus go cough on all the Oscars
@Serial Killer stfu you maniac
So far people who dont watch the news, or are local dont give af.
ish the fish micky dees and burgerking put more in graves then all the viruses together
Chris Tru who go play doctor somewhere else
Pancho Lopez run baby run
Queen beez quit repeting trump nonsense pretty soon he will say click your hills twice and say yabadadoo and everything will be fine .dont be a sheeple
Hà Vương the virus has not been going on for 3 months
wtf does “Italy helped to spread it” mean?!
Use your brain, we did what everyone else has done.
Logan Sells mhah 😅 Fox is the only news we outside of the liberal US bubble could trust. Especially when the news has anything to do with anything even partially political.
Marcia Baxter exactly. If any people are to be blamed, it’s the communist party of China who gave the world this new gift of theirs. The ”Italy did this that” rhetoric is just part of the deconstructionist agenda.
The summer Olympics will be cancelled for sure !
Will the euro 2020 football be cancelled?? All major sports?
Mark Gitschel so you’re telling me that one of the biggest events in the world are gonna be cancelled because the Chinese won’t stop eating bats? I’d prefer if the Chinese aren’t allowed to take part in the Olympics and anyone that has the Coronavirus
fera• “Eating bats”
Good, the Chinese Team can go INFECT each other in peace.
“The patient is in isolation at a hospital” – Good luck paying your medical bills, I think most people will not report if they get sick.
Knotty Bunny run forrest run
Hopefully she is on the Oregon health plan…
@Free World me too
@Erik um, not quite. Socialized healthcare is bad though. The Government picks who lives and dies, what services will be provided and for whom, and we wouldn’t even be able to pay out of pocket for treatments. It is not an ideal situation.
Erik, it’ll make you a bunch of communists who need a good bombing to sort you out. Actually, British health care is partially privatized and is being underfunded and run into the ground. There are just 28 beds nationwide to deal with serious/critical coronavirus cases. I’m gonna love it if it wreaks havoc in the UK – what the British deserve for voting the same party back into power that, for 10 years, has ruined so many people’s lives.
I’m not “panicking”.
@NewYorker Joe You never knows, you may be right with biological weapon theory. Anyway, so glad you mentioned some critical info:,
Corona Virus was patented in 11/20/2018 in USA with U.S. Patent # 10,130,701.

I could not care any less about this crap other than finding out the agendas and exposing the lies behind this crap.
@End Human Sovereignty 2020 yup a new virus comes around during controversy..how convenient the news is just fear mongering instead of exposing politicians
They Are trying to make you scared it ain’t even that bad as the flu
No traveling to Rome 🤔, so what’s Charlie doing there without a mask.
@Lisa M. is he there?
Masks are effective
MC 0_0 indeed that’s what the health ministry is telling us in Europe. Those flimsy operating masks you see people wear are just costing you money and don’t help in preventing the disease. The better ones are for the people who already have been contaminated so the have less risk of spreading it. Anyway the “normal” flue is far more contagious and deadly. This fear-mongering is unbelievable. The only ones who profit from this are the vendors of said masks.
@Lilith Eden 100%, I also live in London but travel to the States a lot as the company I work for are based in San Fran. However last week they have now cancelled all International travel for employees. Thats sensible, flight prevention, not these stupid masks !!
Remember when the world health organization said the spread would be very low, just to show you can’t trust anything they say
@Lisa M. cool
”27 infected. Not great, not terrible.” -Winnie the Pooh
WHO : ”China has handled this great!”
They’re paid by China that’s why
I feel like Italy is one of few countries being honest about their numbers.
@Kamaal Countries are held accountable for failure to report through numbers, or suspicions of same. There are repercussions if they are believed to be lying. The only country in this scenario who is lying via not testing, is America. Unfortunately because of size and population ratios, they will get away with their lies for a lot longer than most. But it is blatantly obvious they are the single worst offender – in league with China in December-early January (only).
The rest of us should be immediately blocking all flights from America.
Exactly,my country is probably infected too(we have at last 5 flights a day from Italy so imagine) and yet there is “No Infected” lol ok either we have the toughest immune system on earth or our state can’t even run tests decently or don’t tell the people about it
“We are urging American’s not to travel to Italy… now to Charlie our correspondent in Italy”
Charlie’s face: 😐
Poor guy.
Just returned from Rome and nothing happened,ya’ll can chill being this dramatic and turning Italy to a horror movie🙄😑Actually this is the best time to visit Italy,no swarm of Asian tourists in the streets or other dumb people around.
lmao right?
🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:50
“should make sure their health insurance is in place”
*Laughs in American*
*Cries in American*
*Dies in American*
@Sage The Assassin -Super Gamer Woah. How is that possible? I get that our country is not the greatest in healthcare but the price is too different.
For context, the ambulance here cost around 40 USD. And for admitting a patient, around 60 USD per night.
Sage The Assassin -Super Gamer: Wow! That’s insane!!!
@Sage The Assassin -Super Gamer don’t believe half the s*** people write on here this lady probably has Medicaid or Medicare which is paid in full through the government..
@Sage The Assassin -Super Gamer I bet you you’re on Medicaid you could tell by your f****** videos you watch
CBS: we need to send someone to Rome.
Charlie: alright I’ll go.
*couple days later*
Charlie: wait what … the Corona virus is here!????!!!
CBS: it’s a sacrifice am willing to take
“So far in the US fewer than 500 people have been tested”
That’s horrifying.
And if you try to test 20 million illegal Mexicans it’s it’s offencive to them
@kezia as if
No it’s not…
It said something of only older people would probobaly be terribly affected while younger kids will just have a flu. Protect your parents or anyone else you know that’s over the age of 30.
Love how NO ONE is talking about those who have recovered.
@Lipton Teabag so you say people need to vote for bernie sanders and get free healhcare
@Bence Illes is that what wikipedia says lmao
Do you work for the CCP ?
NEWSFLASH – You can’t DIE from a recovery.
@Remy Buxaplenty
LOL❤
“Everyone we will be fine. It is just a flu” but lets talk about it on the news 24/7.
john I have no facts of my own. I rely on those who have access to data. It’s simple math.
You have some unique exclusive data I suppose. Fuzzy mathematics 🧮
@The Summerland The fatality rate is much higher than 2 percent. The media has lied to us.
