AP News: 美国冠状病毒死亡人数增至6人

We now at this time have 10 confirmed cases of COVID-19 Evergreen. Despite our best efforts, six of those cases have died. And our condolences go out to the patients' families in this time. So at this time, along with our current confirmed cases, we have approximately twenty nine cases that are pending investigation total and we are waiting for those results in those patients for appropriate precautions.

We're now identifying patients that weren't able to have been tested before. And as you know, we haven't had the ability to test for mild cases until this week, basically with this new lab capacity that's coming online from at the University of Washington. So it's impossible for me to predict, you know, what the peak of this outbreak will be. And everything we're doing now is trying to blunt that peak and push it down by giving people advice on how to protect themselves from becoming ill and not running into the hospital if they're not seriously ill and preserve those limited resources for those who really need them. But I can tell you that even this early in the outbreak, our hospitals are feeling the strain.
