(16,616 posts)9. I think I know what you're getting at with this poll and it seems like
you're a few steps ahead of the CDC.

(14,961 posts)10. I'm trying. I also know a few people on Twitter that are thoroughly
researching these avenues.

Seattle resident, had the worst respiratory infection he'd ever had a month ago. Was initially told it couldn't be Corona because no Chinese contact, but it didn't get better. When the cases started exploding the other week he went in again and was immediately tested. Did not have it.

Happy to say she's back home but two weeks out, still recovering.

It didn't help that her doc didn't test her for influenza at first. Instead gave her antibiotics for bronchitis.
Incompetence is everywhere!
