“I think Italy might have the L type strain the more aggressive one. I hope that strain did not make it out of Wuhan.”

Article about the different strains of coronavirus

my synopsis of the L & S types, from the article:

L - more aggressive - early stage Wuhan - 70% - decreased after Jan - symptoms easier to detect

S - less aggressive - later stage Wuhan - 30% - increased after Jan - symptoms less detectable; weaker & milder

The prevention & control done in Wuhan might explain the decrease in frequency of the L relative to the S in other places after the initial outbreak in Wuhan.

CenturyLink Field employee who worked XFL game diagnosed with coronavirus
8:37 PM ET

A stadium employee who worked at the XFL’s Seattle Dragons home game Feb. 22 at CenturyLink Field has tested positive for the coronavirus, King County health officials said, but as of now, no games scheduled to be played at the facility have been canceled.

The MLS’ Seattle Sounders host the Columbus Crew at CenturyLink on Saturday.

The Seattle Times reported that the employee who tested positive for the virus — which causes the disease known as COVID19 — was a concessions vendor.

I think they should separate the two strains into different diseases.
COVID-19L and COVID-19S. One is like the flu, the other is deadly.
