medical safety glasses - Coronavirus has now infected more people in China than were sickened during the SARS outbreak in the early 2000s. Here are the latest figures. How many have been infected or have died? The death toll from the virus has increased to 361 on Monday, with a total of 17,205 infected -- an increase of nearly 20 percent in the last 24 hours. The first death outside of China was recorded in the Philippines on Sunday. The 44-year-old Chinese man from Wuhan was hospitalized last week with a fever, cough and sore throat, and died after developing severe pneumonia, according to the Philippines health department.
medical safety glasses, The WHO said the number of cases will keep growing as tests are pending on thousands of suspected cases. Where is the virus? Roughly 99 percent of new cases have appeared in China with the vast majority of the cases in Hubei province and its provincial capital, Wuhan -- the epicenter of the virus. About 150 cases have been reported in at least 25 countries globally. The United Kingdom announced on Friday it has two cases of the virus, who are reportedly members of the same family.

The flu has estimated to have killed roughly 10,000 to 25,000 people with nearly 19 to 26 million infected in the U.S. between October 1, 2019, and January 25, 2020, according to the CDC. Coronavirus has impacted a far lesser number, although it's not yet clear how many have been infected or how widespread it is. There have also been reports it can be spread without symptoms showing up. In respiratory illnesses, people with the most symptoms are the most contagious, the agency said. Children and those over 65 are the most likely to get sick from the flu, the CDC added.
