10:25 am: CDC confirms 15th US case in evacuee under quarantine at Texas military base
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed a 15th case in the U.S., a recent evacuee from Wuhan who was quarantined at the Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas. The U.S. evacuated roughly 800 Americans from Wuhan, more than 600 of which remain under quarantine at military facilities across the nation. Two other evacuees at a Marine Corps base near San Diego, California also have COVID-19, the CDC said Wednesday. "There will likely be additional cases in the coming days and weeks, including among other people recently returned from Wuhan," the CDC said. β Feuer

As @clacke@libranet.de pointed out, the Wuhan outbreak currently has an estimated fatality rate of 2%, which is extremely high. Fortunately, it has only infected a very small number of people.
Compare to its relative #SARS which struck around 8,000 people over a period of a year or two, killing nearly 10%.
In either case, due to the high death rate, the key thing is to contain its spread, so it doesnβt become widespread like influenza.
