First American dies of coronavirus in China: US Embassy

Coronavirus concerns: Scientists race to develop vaccine

The Department of Health and Human Services partners with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals in Tarrytown, N.Y., in search for a cure or vaccine for the coronavirus; Fox News correspondent Alex Hogan reports.

A 60-year-old diagnosed with coronavirus in Wuhan, China, has reportedly become the first U.S. citizen to die of the novel virus.

The patient died at Jinyintian Hospital in Wuhan on Thursday, The New York Times reported.

The U.S. Embassy in Beijing confirmed the patient’s death Friday night but gave few other details.

CORONAVIRUS IN CHINA GROW TO 722, MORE THAN 34,500 CASES REPORTED

“We offer our sincerest condolences to the family on their loss,” a spokesman for the embassy said, according to the Times. “Out of respect for the family’s privacy, we have no further comment.”



On Friday, the Chinese government reported 86 fatalities on the mainland in the viruses' deadliest day so far, the Washington Post reported.

The fast-spreading virus has killed more than 700 and infected more than 34,500 in China as of Friday.

A Japanese citizen "highly suspected" of having coronavirus has also died, Japan's foreign ministry reported, according to NBC News.



Chinese officials are still trying to stem the flow of infections in the mainland as the virus continues to spread globally. The country's ruling Communist Party is also dealing with public anger over the death of a doctor who was detained and threatened by authorities for spreading early warnings of the illness in December.

As of Friday, 72 countries have implemented travel restrictions, according to the World Health Organization.

So far 12 patients have been diagnosed with the virus in the U.S., but some have already been released from the hospital. In Wisconsin, 14 patients were tested for the virus, one of which became the lastest confirmed case. Five more are still awaiting results while the others came back negative.

President Trump on Friday tweeted that he had a “good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days. Nothing is easy, but he will be successful.”

Fox News' Louis Casiano contributed to this report.

I thought they were all evacuated several weeks ago?? I believe the article Matt posted is likely more accurate than the official figures. Saw and posted an article showing Christians going into the streets handing out masks and telling folks about Jesus. They are walking the walk and talking the talk. CHARLIE.

Thanks for the post, "all"?  "all" you could stuff in a plane or a trunk? some may have been called to stay and minister.

This is a biological engineered weapon. No doubt about it. This virus acts like no other one we have ever
encounted. I've been saying this for years. Biological will be the weapon of mass destruction in the
early 21st century. Even targeting a race. If Ancestry.com is able to do what it does with a simple
DNA sample. Yes a bug like that is possible.

Yes, and it lines up very well, Americans are such a mix, it must be harder to attack us.

That wouldn't matter. New generation of bio weapons. Go for the DNA.

That's where our strength lies, in this mix of DNA we have here, it may be introduced, but our mix of DNA is the brick wall it hits here.
     So much about disease, mutation, and how the mind can either protect us from, or make us susceptible to based on our thinking, and we need to think about what we think about.
 That is science now as I am learning. Anyhow, we are just watching the movie go by of how He is unfolding His plan to redeem His own and mankind, His will be done.

It could wipe out an entire race.

He tells us it will be stopped before man can destroy the whole world.

This is a biological engineered weapon.

If that's the case it wasn't made very well considering that the Chinese people are the worst hit...

TRUE, but I don't think it was developed to be used against their own people. I believe it is a virus developed my their military that somehow got loose. Imagine a rocket or drone releasing that virus over NYC. CHARLIE.

Strange that it first showed up in Wuhan. Which is home base to a huge level P4 bio weapons laboratory.
China finally admitted that, which is something most countries are keeping it a secret.
Including us, watch the movie The Hot Zone we just barely dodged that bullet.
A village in Africa where it originated wasn't so lucky.


It was sent over here by accident to our lab, carried by infected lab monkeys. They all died.

Way back when I was in collage, one of the professors said in a lecture that all strains of the flu have been traced to a 30 mile radius in China.  I have no problem believing that this is another one of those.  The unsanitary conditions there are ripe for an animal virus to jump to people.  I'm not buying the conspiracy theory on this one...
