Researchers Estimate 28,000 Were Infected with Coronavirus in U.S. Cities by March 1
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Researchers at Northeastern University say the novel coronavirus spread
undetected in major cities, including Boston, Chicago, New York, San
Francisco and Seattle, in early February - far earlier than previously
known. The researchers estimate 28,000 people in U.S. cities were
infected by March 1, when there were just 23 confirmed cases of the
disease.
