Interesting- Cavuto is interviewing a man in California - he and his whole family have been confirmed to have this flu. Their young son was the first member of the family to have it- BUT the catch is- they haven’t been to Mexico, don’t know anyone who’s been to Mexico...
If true, so much for contact tracing. Oh, boy....
Are you kidding me? They LIVE in Mexico.
Thanks SE Mom...
To tell you the honest truth I’m wondering if the flu my family just fought off 2 weeks ago could have been this same thing. It’s not like we all went to the doctor - only my 12 year old who was taking longer to recover and had swelling in her throat (strep test negative). Everyone in my family is fine now, PRAISE GOD. I didn’t get the “flu”, but instead I got a VERY NASTY bronchial infection about 5 days after they all got sick, I was but on heavy duty antibiotics and such and just have some leftover ‘irritation’ that may stay for a bit although the infection is cleared. [Now, whatever it was that my kids and husband came down with our cat (who we didn’t know had leukemia) also caught an upper respiratory infection and got sick the SAME DAY as the rest of my family, and we unfortunately had to put him to sleep. Cats with leukemia are at risk for catching all sorts of stuff that normally wouldn’t hurt a healthy cat — it’s just one of those things that makes you stop and wonder for a moment - especially in light of all this news...]
It really doesn’t matter if our family had this or not — it’s just that so many people get the flu and DON’T go to the doctor and just recover that the spread of this could’ve been going for a WHILE now with no-one really noticing. NOW that they’ve identified this as a new virus, I’d bet they are looking back over medical records and deaths and such over the last few months to see if it’s way more widespread than what we think at the moment (or that they are telling us right now).
