#14,983

Just a head's up.  There have been reports (AP News  & Local NBC affiliate) over the past hour that a second community acquired COVID-19 case has been identified - this time in Santa Clara, California.
The Santa Clara Health Department will live stream a news conference on their facebook page at 7pm EST (4pm PST) at : https://www.facebook.com/sccpublichealth/
It seems likely that with two cases identified with only limited testing to date, that we'll find the virus in more places next week as testing is expanded to include those without recent travel to China (see CDC Revised Testing Criteria For COVID-19 PUIs).
