Third US Coronavirus Case Confirmed In Orange County, 40 Reported In Shanghai

As the number of confirmed cases surges past 2,000, China is scrambling to build not one, but two, SARS treatment-model hospitals in Wuhan.

As we reported last night, health officials in Hubei Province confirmed thirteen more deaths on Saturday, while another was reported in Henan Province.

AFP adds that 40 cases have been confirmed in the city: 37 stable, one critical, one recovered, and one died.

Over in the US, officials confirmed a third case of nCoV early Sunday.

Japan confirmed its fourth case of infection, Thailand confirmed its 8th case, Hong Kong confirmed its sixth case and Macau confirmed three new cases overnight.

AFP reported the Shanghai cases late yesterday in the US, but the American press has, for some reason, neglected to emphasize, or even mention, this alarming factoid.

Some experts suspect that Beijing is concealing the true number of confirmed cases for fear of sparking 'social panic', just like the leadership did during the SARS outbreak in 2003.
