Great press conference last Friday by member of the W.H.O. who went to China and formed a joint task force to evaluate the epidemic. Bottom line is, basically, that the Chinese did a ridiculously good job of reining it in - and we are in no way prepared to do the same. You can expect a rapid increase in cases in the US over the next month I believe. Plan accordingly.
Also - just because Washington state has identified cases doesn't mean it's not other places too - they used a flu research project to skate around the CDC to do local testing for the coronavirus, that's how they found the teenage boy in Snohomish.
