Health officials: Possible third coronavirus case in Georgia

The Fulton County individual has been hospitalized. Officials do not yet know how they were exposed to the virus.

The third case involved a 46-year-old female went who went to a hospital in Rome complaining of flu-like symptoms. Hospital officials said she didn’t meet the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and GDPH criteria for COVID-19 testing, so she was treated and released. After she began to feel worse, the woman was eventually tested. The test has now confirmed that she has COVID-9. Officials say she has been hospitalized.

...eventually tested.

How long is ‘eventually’?

How many people did she infect after she was released?

How many people at that hospital are now quarantined?

Can we admit it’s long past time to start prosecuting anyone who ever worked on the CDC guidelines. to include mandatory community service in Wuhan or Qom?

I wonder how many cases we have, nationally, just like this one...due to the early CDC testing criteria.
