First American in Washington State has died due to CoVID19

Right now the news is just breaking on FOX news.
Patient was tried on Remdesivir IV, but the medication failed.
Pharmaceutical company Gilead provided remdesivir to physicians who treated the American patient in Snohomish County, Washington. They were found positive for having CoVID19.

"A person in Washington state infected with coronavirus has died, according to the Seattle and King County Department of Health. The fatality marks the first death associated with the virus in the United States. The health department had no further details at the time of the announcement, but plans to announce more Saturday afternoon.

The death comes after U.S. health officials have warned that coronavirus now appears to be spreading within the country from person to person independent of any foreign travel. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention acknowledged three such cases, known as community spread, in the U.S. late Friday night."

Stay tuned.

if the person was old, it should be noted.
the age, race, etc needs to be explained.

if the person was 92, and they do not mention it?

Stock market will likely take another big drop on Monday once this death has circled the media all weekend.

If another victim succumbs on US soil before Monday, the drop will likely make heads swim.

Sincere condolences to the friends and family of the victim(s). We must make the loss of their life/lives a “wake up call” to the seriousness of this disease.

meg anderson, the writer of the article, just writes pro-pagandist garbage.

you cant trust her, she writes for their agenda.

Why is so hard even thru Agency Google to find out the age/ethnicity of US fatal patient zero?

All i keep hearing os CHINA, IRAN from MSM

I wish the information on these deaths would say if the person was old or frail, whether the person was on meds for asthma, or whether the person experienced pneumonia or sepsis in conjunction with the virus.

It would be easier to stress preventative measures of the disease causing milder or more severe versions if we actually had some research evidence to look at.

Here is some info on sepsis, which along with pneumonia cause most of the serious flu hospital deaths and bad cases of the flu in this country. Why is it that lately sepsis has increased so much in this country? I think they should figure out what is causing the sepsis instead of concentrating on vaccines, because all sepsis is up, something we have changed has triggered more extreme cytokine activity to all illnesses.

Too strong of an immune system is not good, moderate the consumption of foods that strengthen the immune system too much.
I know, my immune system being strong has always given me and my family some problems. I have to watch that I do not eat the foods that add a turbocharger to it.

Don't worry. The news of this death just literally broke. The info will come out. This ain't China.

Edit: Took 10 minutes. Female in her late 50's, medically compromised. More to come...

That would be TMI.

We are not ready for that kind of info.

IMO if the persons was old, sick or very young it would of been mentioned.

I am betting the person was not old and was healthy.

What are you trying to say?
There wasn't a death?

Just because anything from Fox makes your brain short-circuit doesn't make this "propaganda"...

Why race?

Patients are entitled to privacy as well as patients families.

a reply to: UFO1414

This ain't China.

True, they are at least testing their citizens and taking action.

The info will come out.

I am sure it will come out. When the time is right.

ETA- Trump just said it was a woman in her 50's

There are HIPAA (patient privacy) regulations to consider. In many cases such personal information cannot be disclosed without the (sometimes written) consent of the patient and/or next of kin.

a reply to: rickymouse

Since those are the demographics who succumb to this can't you assume that's still the case?

Age, in the case of older adults, can be considered PHI and is covered under HIPPA. So depending on circumstances they may not be able to reveal age.

a reply to: Violater1

It was a female in her late 50's who was medically a high risk patient. Trump just said it at the press conference.

a reply to: LookingAtMars

You would bet that because...? Why?
It suddenly changed and is now claiming healthy young adults?
Why would you bet that when it hasn't been the case so far?
I'll take that bet. No money of course but I'll take it.
You say young and healthy.
I say older, smoker maybe with heart disease.
Let's see who's right shall we?
What's your name?
Lookingatmars. Okay I'll get back to you.
As soon as we know anything.

Well there goes young out the window.

Such personal info as AGE?

EXCEPT When Chinese/Iranian, apparently.

So far.

a reply to: seeker1963

And it's two for two.

That didn't take long.

Condolences to her family.

a reply to: pressident

They announced age and sex and said she was a high risk. What more do you need?
