    The COVID-19 pandemic began in December 2019 when a new coronavirus was detected in Wuhan, China. The virus was identified as a novel coronavirus and named SARS-CoV-2. It is believed to have originated in animals at a Wuhan market but some theorize it may have escaped from a Wuhan virology lab. The first cases outside of China occurred in January 2020 and the first confirmed US case was on January 21, 2020 in Washington state from a person who had traveled to Wuhan. By March 2020, all US states had reported cases and it had spread globally, leading the WHO to declare COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020.

    Covid-19 - Pandemic
    A New Virus Breaks Out in Wuhan, China
    COVID-19 Pandemic - Origins, Impact & Vaccines | HISTO RY

    The outbreak of the infectious respiratory disease known as COVID-19 triggered one of
    the deadliest pandemics in modern history. Leading up to May 11, 2023, when the United
    States officially plans to downgrade its “national emergency” status, the COVID-19
    pandemic claimed nearly 7 million lives worldwide. In the United States, deaths from
    COVID-19 eclipsed 1.1 million, nearly twice the American death toll from the 1918 flu
    pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic also took a heavy toll economically, politically and
    psychologically, revealing deep divisions in the way that Americans viewed the role of
    government in a public health crisis, particularly vaccine mandates. The full effects of the
    COVID-19 pandemic will reverberate for decades.

    A New Virus Breaks Out in Wuhan, China
    In December 2019, the China office of the World Health Organization
    (WHO) received news of an isolated outbreak of a pneumonia-like virus in the city
    of Wuhan. The virus caused high fevers and shortness of breath, and the cases seemed
    connected to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan, which was closed by an
    emergency order on January 1, 2020.

    After testing samples of the unknown virus, the WHO identified it as a novel type of
    coronavirus similar to the deadly SARS virus that swept through Asia from 2002-2004.
    The WHO named this new strain SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
    Coronavirus 2). The first Chinese victim of SARS-CoV-2 died on January 11, 2020.

    Where, exactly, the novel virus originated is hotly debated. There are two leading
    theories. One is that the virus jumped from animals to humans, possibly carried by
    infected animals sold at the Wuhan market in late 2019. A second theory is that the virus
    escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, a research lab that was studying
    coronaviruses. U.S. intelligence agencies maintain that both origin stories are
    “plausible.”

    The First COVID-19 Cases in America

    The WHO hoped that the virus outbreak would be contained to Wuhan, but by mid-
    January 2020 infections were reported in Thailand, Japan and Korea, all from people who
    had traveled to China.

    On January 18, 2020, a 35-year-old man checked into an urgent care center near Seattle,
    Washington. He had just returned from Wuhan and was experiencing a fever, nausea
    and vomiting. On January 21, he was identified as the first American infected with
    SARS-CoV-2.

    In reality, dozens of Americans had contracted SARS-CoV-2 weeks earlier, but doctors
    didn’t think to test for a new type of virus. One of those unknowingly infected patients
    died on February 6, 2020, but her death wasn’t confirmed as the first American casualty
    until April 21.

    On February 11, 2020, the WHO released a new name for the disease causing the deadly
    outbreak: Coronavirus Disease 2019 or COVID-19. By mid-March 2020, all 50 U.S. states
    had reported at least one positive case of COVID-19, and nearly all of the new infections
    were caused by “community spread,” not by people who contracted the disease while
    traveling abroad.

    At the same time, COVID-19 had spread to 114 countries worldwide, killing more than
    4,000 people and infecting hundreds of thousands more. On March 11, the WHO made
    it official and declared COVID-19 a pandemic.
