It's getting creepy how cases are spreading internationally. Yesterday it was Massachusetts, today was NY and Italy. Before then it was UK, Spain, Portugal, and Canada.
"For that reason, she added, it’s important to avoid stigmatizing infected people.

That has raised questions about a new route of transmission, but sex obviously involves prolonged close contact, which is how the virus normally spreads. "
