This week marks two years since COVID-19 changed lives in Washington State, across the country and throughout the world. On Jan. 19, 2020, a Snohomish County man in his 30s went to an urgent care clinic with symptoms of pneumonia and was taken to Everett's Providence Regional Medical Center to be treated. Two days later, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed it was the first case of coronavirus in the U.S. after deploying a team to the state to help with contact tracing efforts. According to the CDC, the man had returned from a trip to Wuhan, China after visiting family and arrived at Sea-Tac International Airport asymptomatic. In mid-December 2019, the CDC reported a cluster of patients in Wuhan were experiencing shortness of breath and a fever.
