“Were Washington State, L.A. and New York —each— from one symptomatic person?”
Are you, or someone, claiming they were?
“Not tested” (positive) before, as well as “not reported to be” (ill) are not synonyms for “asymptomatic”. It is my expectation that there is a lot of little denials that goes on with folks, just as there always is with flu - thought it was just a headache, just the sniffles, just a dry cough, just stuffed up sinus, ect., ect, ect.
Asymptomatic means THE BODY IS NOT EXPRESSING SYMPTOMS. That can be different than what many folks claim they are, or were experiencing. REFUSING to admit “minor” symptoms as possibly part of a larger infection is how people convince themselves they can still go to work - and wind up spreading the seasonal flu among their co-workers. They are not “asymptomatic”, just in denial.
I was asking whether the three locations’ outbreaks were caused by someone showing symptoms, or were they caused by someone not showing symptoms.
Reason I aske is, because researchers had traced back three strains of virus in the U.S. to three locations, Washington state, Los Angeles, and New York.
