New Chinese “Megavirus” arrives in this US City as death toll rises

A new Chinese “Megavirus” is making many people very nervous, and has become a major health concern for everyone in contact with anyone with “Coronavirus.”

17 have died from this dangerous virus, which is much like SARS.

It causes respiratory ailments, vomiting, and a high fever.

Now 1 person in Washington has caught it and brought it to the US after visiting China!

Persident Trump has weighed in:

Asked about US response to the Coronavirus, says "we do have a plan and we think we've already handled it very well." He praises "very great professionals" as the @CDCgov. "We're in very good shape and think China's in very good shape also." pic.twitter.com/nXQaj9F59f
