       As of 3/7/2020, Santa Clara County has confirmed 32 cases of COVID-19 with many through community spread. As the virus is highly contagious, anyone closely contacts the infectious can potentially catch it, and the incubation can be longer than 14 days.  During its incubation, the virus can be spread quickly as well. It is absolutely not common flu, instead, it has a considerably higher death rate and causes lung and kidney damage for the survivors for a whole life.  

       CEO of the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations Dr Richard Hatchett explains the long-term dangers of the Covid-19 coronavirus - saying it's the scariest outbreak he's dealt with in his 20-year career.
