Covid-19 cases near 100,000 worldwide

There are near-constant developments with the coronavirus outbreak, so here's a roundup of where things stand: 
  • Worldwide cases: More than 95,000 people have been diagnosed with Covid-19, and nearly 3,300 people have died. South Korea, Italy, and Iran are the hardest hit outside China — with upwards of 3,000 cases — and Italy has even banned fans from soccer matches for a month. 
  • The U.S. situation: California reported its first fatality yesterday, bringing the death toll in the U.S. to 11. Several states, including Washington and New York, are continuing to see a spike in cases. 
  • What else to know: The WHO has stated that the new coronavirus is deadlier than the flu, but what's unclear is whether, like the flu, it will dissipate once warm weather arrives with spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Watch this video from STAT's Hyacinth Empinado and Alex Hogan to learn more
