Nebraska’s first coronavirus patient participated in a basketball tournament in Fremont and visited a VFW post in Omaha in the week before she went to an Omaha hospital with symptoms of coronavirus disease.
Among those who may have been exposed are more than 30 employees of the Methodist Health System — the woman first went to Methodist Women’s Hospital in west Omaha and was transferred to Methodist Hospital in central Omaha.
Folks getting it early will get full medical help.
Six months from now might be more like this ...

This is ridiculous. It mentions that the woman was in a Special Olympics event, and from what little I can learn, it appears to me that she may have had Downs Syndrome. This is a condition that predisposes people to various respiratory problems, and once upon a time few people with this condition lived much beyond their twenties.
Even so, whether the patient has other conditions or not, sealing her up in a plastic bag is ridiculous. This is not a disease from outer space or even an ugly hemorrhagic fever like Ebola or yellow fever. The common cold is a corona virus.
The UNMC facility is a level-3 containment facility. They’ve treated Ebola patients there. These facilities have to follow a strict protocol, regardless of the infection. That’s why everyone i s suited up, she’s double wrapped in a containment suit leaving no possibility of spreading anything within the facility. It would be frightening if they did not follow strict procedures to the max.
