China’s coronavirus outbreak has affected more people than the SARS epidemic but so far has caused fewer deaths. China reported 5,974 cases on Wednesday, with 86 additional infections recorded in other countries. The viral pneumonia outbreak has led to the deaths of at least 132 people. SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) killed 348 people in 2002 and 2003, out of 5,327 recorded cases in mainland China. Chinese health officials traced the coronavirus outbreak to a seafood market in Wuhan, in central China’s Hubei province, but have not pinned down the exact source.

Thomas Campbell said 31 of the injured service members had returned to duty.
