I was wondering about the recovery rate. Not all flu like viruses are fatal, in fact, most are not.
I was far more worried a few years back during the Ebola dramas. Somehow, even that did not spread and mushroom in high fatalities inside the United States. Ebola can kill very quickly under certain conditions.
That scared me to death. I had my son get a flu shot just to discern Ebola from likely flu as fast as possible.
Luckily we have very advanced hospitals which quarantined the few who got it so it did not spread and they eventually recovered. It was hellish, though...major hospital arrangements for weeks just for one patient. The rate on Ebola was very high, so yes, it scared me to death.

You answered your own question!
The sick person became sick so fast, immobilized (bedridden) and died before they could infect too many people.
The Chinese gal that went to Germany - I think it is 6 people now at that company are infected? And as far as I know, the gal still isn’t showing symptoms.
