“We’re seeing encouraging signs,” CDC Acting Director Richard E. Besser said in a television interview this morning. “And the encouraging signs have to do with severity.”
Nevertheless, he said on NBC’s “Today” show, the virus is still spreading, “and we expect that we’ll see it very soon reported in all 50 states.”
In Geneva, the World Health Organization said that although travel-related infections have spread to different parts of the globe, there is still no evidence that the disease is spreading within communities outside Mexico, the United States and Canada.
