'It's Scary': Residents Near Mystery Coronavirus Case Worry and Wonder

VACAVILLE, Calif. — In the parking lot of a big-box store, Rick Lodwick tossed a jumbo pack of sanitizing wipes into the back of his car.

“I’m middling alarmed,” Mr. Lodwick, an engineer, said as he listed the provisions he bought on Thursday after learning that a woman from his county, Solano, was believed to be the first person in the United States to test positive for the coronavirus without having a known connection to others with the illness.

“When I heard it was here, I thought, We’re going to have trouble,” Mr. Lodwick said.

A day after the authorities announced the case of the woman, who they say may be the first person infected through community transmission in this country, residents of Solano County had a wide range of reactions, from apathy to alarm.
