An expert in the spread of the coronavirus said that the first death in the United States is just the “tip of the iceberg” as the virus is expected to continue spreading rapidly and eventually infect the majority of the world.
Professor Gabriel Leung, dean of the University of Hong Kong’s medical faculty, told the South China Morning Post that the confirmed death of an American man in the state of Washington is a worrying sign because it means there could be more cases yet to be confirmed. He said this death will likely be “the tip of the iceberg” as there is much more to come.
“One death could mean there are 100 confirmed cases in the region — and maybe you haven’t recorded as many cases just because you haven’t tested enough people,” he said.
