With an estimated mortality rate of 2 percent, health officials from around the world have been struggling to contain the outbreak.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McCafferty has bi-weekly and sometimes weekly conference calls with the state so that everyone is on the same page (regarding a potential coronavirus outbreak in New York),\u201d Sauerbrey added.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the post on Facebook, which appears to at least be in part written by Linda Lints Barton, it states that the decision was made to leave David in Japan, as he was receiving excellent care for viral pneumonia, while Linda took a transport plane back to the states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t respond individually for the next several days, but please keep him in your prayers,\u201d the post on Facebook stated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have attempted to contact Linda Lints Barton, and do not know, at the time of this reporting, if her and her husband are still under care and quarantine. We will provide further details upon discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to New York\u2019s Department of Health, as of Feb. 27 there were no positive cases for the coronavirus in the state, although 27 were tested with negative results.
