Multiple sources are telling Fox News today that the United States now has high confidence that,

 “The first human infection could have occurred as a natural accident, with a virus passing from
bat to human, possibly through another animal. But the first human infection also could have

of people around the world to die.

declined to declare it a pandemic until everyone in the world knew that was already true,
