Connor Reed, a 25-year-old expat from Llandudno in North Wales, has worked in a school in Wuhan, China, for almost a year. In November he became the first British man to catch the coronavirus...Day 9: Even the kitten hanging around my apartment seems to be feeling under the weather. It isn’t its usual lively self, and when I put down food it doesn’t want to eat...Day 11: Suddenly, I’m feeling better, physically at least. The flu has lifted. But the poor kitten has died. I don’t know whether it had what I’ve got, or whether cats can even get human flu.

Well, look what else has been hidden. The rest of the story is fascinating and news to most of us--worth a read. Wish I weren't bound to excerpt it.

Wonder what the “Flu kills XXX,XXX/year” crowd will say?

[Dr. Pritchett]

“ He got better.”

But I don’t want to get on the cart!

There was a story about a dog getting it ; this seems to be jumping between species

I’m wondering how people die from this- Do they drown because of fluid in the lungs? Suffocate slowly- agonizingly? I read that it destroys air sacks i nthe lungs, and can leave survivors with damaged lungs- but what woudl be the actual dying process of this flu?

Coronavirus: pet dog belonging to Covid-19 patient infected, Hong Kong health authorities confirm

[CaptainK]

This story is making me nervous because I’ve had same symptoms since Sunday.

[Freedom56v2]

A 25-year old took OVER THREE WEEKS to get better...

Great news, but a very, very cautionary tale...

Only after he was turned into a newt

[Patriot Babe]

Please get yourself checked right away.

Well, this is a far cry from “It was just like a regular cold” I’ve read from other patients. Not encouraging. Though, I’m wondering if it would’ve been less severe for him if he’d sought medical help earlier.

[Parley Baer]

Coronavirus patient on Laura tonight and said his case was not all that bad. Kind of like a cold.

[RomanSoldier19]

Yup thanks now on top list

So now we have the hong kong dog that was confirmed as infected, and now a cat.

The dog didn’t have symptoms the cat died.

I’m reading that there are no available tests yet.
If I feel like I’m relapsing in the next few days I’ll go to an emergency room.
