Agreed. Most people go to the doctor or call 911 before the get anywhere sick enough to die from a virus.

I don't think she was instantly incapacitated.

Hantavirus acts like a bad cold/flu then suddenly goes to respiratory distress. She likely had no idea she was that sick until it was too late.

Yes, I don't understand that, either. I supposed they searched for medically related phone calls and internet searches.

Presumably she might have been self-medicating and ignoring her HV symptoms. I have not read that they found evidence of a head bump that might have disoriented her.
