Doubtful they knew what it was with the first case. Again Ill wait for fact not panic mongering. And I have a good deal more skin in the game because I will be treating these cases. I remember the first year of H1N1. influenza. not bioengineered. Devastating to young people who contracted it. How many epidemics have you treated?
So at least you admit there could have been MANY cases here in December since China admitted to it as far back as December..and people fly in and out of China every day to the US.
MD’s misdiagnosis all the time. I had a young relative die from a misdiagnosis..or rather failure to diagnose the real problem. Probably wasn’t technically malpractice.
And it is possible in these beginning cases they had no reason to suspect this virus in the beginning.
