A grim milestone for the coronavirus

Chinese health officials said today that the death toll from the coronavirus had passed 1,000. Here are the latest updates and maps of where the virus has reached.

In Hong Kong, two people living 10 floors apart were found to be infected, suggesting the virus may have spread through their apartment building, perhaps through a pipe. Similar fears came after several confirmed cases in Tianjin, a city near Beijing, were linked to one department store.

Indonesia has yet to announce a case — something experts find astonishing, considering Bali alone hosts some 5,000 Chinese tourists a day.

Another angle: President Trump has so far kept his distance from the issue, but public health experts are now concerned that a president who has spoken openly about his phobia of germs might overreact to the coronavirus crisis.
