(CNN)The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to announce this afternoon that the first case of Wuhan coronavirus has been reported in the United States, in Washington state, a federal source outside the CDC tells CNN.

The source is involved in the matter and was made aware of a CDC media briefing scheduled for later today.

The novel virus, which was first identified last month in Wuhan, China, has so far infected more than 300 people and killed six, in an outbreak that has been reported in five countries -- now including the United States.

It is unclear if this person recently traveled to China, where and how they became infected, and if this person has transmitted the virus to anyone else in the United States.

Estimates are that it's even less than 3% because people can experience very mild symptoms and most likely dont go to the Dr.

No, but you can prevent it, by shoving a lime up your ass.

Sounds like the Chinese government was experimenting again and things got out of control.

Why do a lot of these disease or viral outbreaks we get most of the time come from Asia? This has been pretty consistent throughout the years.

They tend to come from birds and pigs and spread to humans from the live animal markets that are inside dense urban environments. More people and more live animals in close contact ups the odds of a virus making the jump.

They will save more lives from fewer auto accidents than they will from the virus.

Tends to wreck the economy but oh well.
