Ten people in 18 months?

I’d be willing to bet this means just about nothing. They don’t test the virus when people have an average cold. Most people don’t even go to the doctor.

I came down with a cold last week and it knocked me on my butt. I’ve never had such a bad cold before, yikes!

Interesting post.

One of the warehouses in our system is currently going though a really nasty bug being passed around.

Symptoms sound very similar.

I had it. I was on my butt for at least two weeks and another two weeks to recover to somewhat normal function. This is the bug that is the leading cause of ARDS. I’m surprised how long it took the CDC to report this.

It's killed 10 people in the U.S. in the last 18 months.

Holy cow, it's already surpassed the deaths caused by the bites of the rabid star-nosed mole.......

This is very series.........

Wash your hands. Wash your hands. Wash your hands some more. Wash them again later. Don’t touch stuff that five thousand other people have touched and then touch your face. Wash your hands.

Clarinet_King (son of NerdDad and CDBear) is one of those Air Force recruits who was laid low by this monster and the numbers reported here are incredulously low.

According to the docs who treated him when he got to Vandenburg AFB in CA, the number of recruits infected was closer to 1500. He was quarantined for nearly 2 weeks with this thing before he was allowed to be exposed to any other person. It set him back in his academic training by more than a month and his physical training suffered for nearly 2 months. Thankfully, he had completed basic before it really took hold. The consequences of an illness like that during basic could have really been much worse.

Because his girlfriend came to his basic training graduation, the virus also went home to Michigan with her. This thing is being badly under reported by the CDC and that is not a good thing.

There’s a mutated version of the common cold and it can be deadly.

The YECs will never get this since evolution is impossible for them.
