CORONAVIRUS: First case of coronavirus confirmed in Massachusetts: DPH.

UPDATE (FROM GLENN): A Boston friend emails: “They aren’t saying, but wild guess, he’s one of the 25,000 Chinese nationals enrolled in Boston-area universities, who all just came back from winter break, and he’s just the first. Stay tuned for the dorm outbreak.” That’s plausible, but let’s hope it’s wrong. And let’s also hope that the stats we’re seeing about mortality are correct.
