NEBRASKA

Nebraska has its first confirmed case of coronavirus.

It was a 36-year-old woman who had been in the United Kingdom, Gov. Pete Ricketts said Friday afternoon.

She checked in at Methodist Hospital in Omaha and is being transferred to the biocontainment unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

Dr. Robert Penn, epidemiologist at Methodist Hospital in Omaha, said the woman came in with a respiratory infection on Thursday that had been ongoing for 12 days. She was diagnosed with pneumonia and had low oxygen.

She was put into a negative airflow room, and screening was done for common community viruses, which showed she was positive for COVID-19.

She is on the main Methodist campus but is being transported to UNMC’s Biocontainment Unit, officials said. She has some secondary bacterial infections, and health care workers are trying to trace whom she may have come into contact with.

She is very seriously ill, Penn said.

It was a 36-year-old woman...

... transferred to the biocontainment unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.

...had been ongoing for 12 days. She was diagnosed with pneumonia and had low oxygen.

According to some flu bro freepers, I guess 36 is the new 80.

36-years-old --> NOT over 80.

A woman --> NOT a man.

Dinked around, likely spreading it, for 12 days.

Just like the dingbat in St. Paul MN.

Make your final purchases tomorrow, if you dare. Then weld yourself in.
