Patient Zero in WA

Didnt he die? I cant keep track

https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2001191?fbclid=IwAR15wfSoe2TU8ROcK8nSHPkc3jk7nt9L-3Se5E4goDbWUZCes8Hq-ABDxNM

On admission, the patient reported persistent dry cough and a 2-day history of nausea and vomiting; he reported that he had no shortness of breath or chest pain.

A chest radiograph taken on hospital day 3 (illness day 7) was reported as showing no evidence of infiltrates or abnormalities (Figure 3). However, a second chest radiograph from the night of hospital day 5 (illness day 9) showed evidence of pneumonia in the lower lobe of the left lung (Figure 4)

Compare to chest xray results. Btw, they list blood count levels so something you should be aware of

Detection of 2019-nCoV RNA in specimens from the upper respiratory tract with low Ct values on day 4 and day 7 of illness is suggestive of high viral loads and potential for transmissibility.

He’s fine. Just nagging mild cough. Gilead failed Ebola treatment Remdesivir did the magic on him.
