b"There are still a lot of unknowns about the new Coronavirus, but CBN News health correspondent Lorie Johnson helps put in context some of what we do know:
\\u201c550 people have been infected so far and 17 have died\\u2026you think about people who have died from the flu this season alone, since October, 6,600, 39 of those were children,\\u201d Johnson said on today\\u2019s CBN News Daily Rundown.
CBN News senior international correspondent George Thomas points out that the way China is handling this outbreak is unprecedented.
\\u201cAll across Wuhan the streets are deserted, trains are not operating, planes are not flying, it\\u2019s like a ghost town\\u2026it will be interesting to see how effective this lock-down is and whether China is able to stop the spread of this virus\\u2026my understanding is that this is the first time a country has imposed such a major ban on transportation links out of a capital city,\\u201d Thomas said.
