In the U. S. perhaps a million people were infected by the wuhan virus by the time president Trump declared the travel ban from China on Jan. 31st, because about 120,000 travelers had come from China to the U. S. in December and January, so the wuhan/covid 19 virus has been spreading in the U. S. for almost four months, most of the flu season, yet only about 300 dead to this point while over 20,000 have died of the common flu viruses, some years that number which approaches 100,000.
