First case confirmed in my state (CT):
They work in two hospitals here—both in heavily populated areas. They live in New York state.
Here is a comment about the case work up of Patient 0
o: RummyChick
The absolute neutrophil counts were below normal....something knocked his immune system wacky and his white counts were below normal...not necessarily a good thing. Liver enzymes ast, alt were elevating and his lactic acid was rising. LDH was spiking...would love to have seen his troponin and ckmb(MI?). Platelets dropped slightly but they might have been giving him lovenox or subq heparin for dvt prophylaxis. Fibrinogen was elevating indicating a coagulopathy of sorts also referring back to the liver enzymes.
It would be interesting to note what his t cell counts/cd4 counts were.
Did patient “0” die?

i’m sure quite a few people have it and numbers will escalate dramatically. A very small amount of those will be sick enough to hospitalize. No doubt it can be a serious or fatal illness but the hysteria right now is way over the top
