Cool, I know two people who have posted articles about having it for major news organizations in Texas!

Because it is scary to many, myself included, when they highlight younger people who have pretty severe symptoms I did want to post this link from within the same article:


An older person with mild symptoms, which I still believe occurs in the majority of cases.

Thanks for the link. Just when I start feeling good about the threat of this virus, you get stories like these that remind you to take it seriously.

I still have a cough from testing positive for the flu on March 13th. Still coughing up phlegm as well. So I feel like my respiratory system is already compromised right now.

He traveled to Costa Rica last week?

No, that's when he tested positive. Back out a few days for symptoms to appear and worsen to the point of him going to the hospital and an incubation period and it was likely 2-3 weeks ago.

I don't want to start an argument about whether this is worse than seasonal flu....
But I could find hundreds and hundreds of articles every year about otherwise healthy 20 and 30 year olds that die from the flu. It's not the norm with the flu. It's not the norm with covid-19 either.

This seems worse. Perhaps it's because we're hearing of famous people or former athletes dying of this virus.
