“We have a dormant volcano, and I’m certain a lot of things that happen here are a result of that, but we don’t know about this.” Some of the subdivision movement is happening on shallow fill, according to De Leon.

WHO says new coronavirus may be passed person to person
The World Health Organization says it appears likely that the novel coronavirus (NCoV) can be passed between people in close contact. This comes after the French health ministry confirmed a second man had contracted the virus in a possible case of human-to-human transmission.
