The big medical news is novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).  Four similar coronaviruses cause about one third of our common colds.  We see them all the time, mostly in the Winter, going away by Spring or Summer.  This is number five.

The outbreak of COVID-19 that began in Wuhan, China has spread to other countries.  The cases here returning from China have been quarantined, but others have popped up. At this writing there have been six deaths attributed to this virus strain.  We have lost 45,000 Americans to the flu this season. Did you notice?
