A mysterious virus from China has arrived in America

The mysterious virus from China has arrived in America 

The coronavirus, a deadly new disease spreading across China, is now officially in the U.S. Officials from the CDC said Tuesday that the virus that has killed six people in China was confirmed in Washington state. Hundreds of people in China have been diagnosed with the virus, most in the city of Wuhan. But it has spread to other areas of the country, and a handful of cases have been diagnosed in Thailand, South Korea and Japan. With the virus being confirmed in the U.S., I may avoid people for the foreseeable future. Here's what else you need to know about the virus:

•How is coronavirus similar to SARS? This outbreak is drawing intense attention because of its similarities to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), a coronavirus that killed nearly 800 people in late 2002.
•Is coronavirus contagious? The virus can be spread from animals to people. But it also can be spread by coughing, sneezing and through close contact with an infected person or an object carrying the virus.
•What’s the next move? The World Health Organization will gather a panel of experts Wednesday in Geneva to determine if the outbreak is a global health emergency.
