A suspected case of novel coronavirus is being investigated in El Paso County, Texas.
The El Paso County Health District said Thursday the male patient is a UTEP student who recently traveled to Texas from Wuhan, China, where the coronavirus originated.

The District said the student began showing symptoms after returning home to El Paso.

The student admitted himself to an emergency room at a local hospital Wednesday night. Officials didn't specify which hospital. They said ER staff quickly realized the patient met the standards for coronavirus testing.

They say he had mild flu-like symptoms and traveled to an affected area within 14 days.

Officials say they didn't yet know the patients path home and if that path took them through the heavily trafficked Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport or Bush Intercontinental in Houston.
Officials with DFW Airport said Thursday, "The Centers for Disease Control has not ordered screening of individual passengers at DFW Airport at this time. The Airport is prepared to support the CDC and the Tarrant County Public Health Department if screening is necessary."
El Paso County health officials said the patient is being kept isolated at home while precautionary testing is completed.
Confirmation testing will be done by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. The sample is expected to arrive by Friday morning and should be completed within 24 hours, according to Dr. Eric Wilke, with the El Paso County Health Department.

    whale spotted in illinois river A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

    two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri. While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
