1voyager1 - The US Confirmed Cases jumped up from 15 yesterday to 29 so far today.
Those 14 are from the passengers transported from the Diamond Princess cruise liner in Japan. They learned of their positive test results in the process of leaving and so were brought back to the U.S. instead of remaining in Japan. They are now in the special containment hospital in Omaha.

Point being, this isn't evidence for community transmission in the states (yet). Japan, South Korea, & Singapore are the canaries in the coal mines currently.

Good thing Hawaii doesn't have any flights to and from those locations!
