The more I read about it, the more confused I am about it. According to the CDC, the symptoms are a fever, cough, and shortness of breath, a triad that applies to a shitton of diseases. And given that the death rate is a little more than 2%, mostly older people, I’m finding it harder to understand what exactly the fuss is about. What exactly makes this different from other respiratory diseases that go around? Besides its apparently lasting longer, and having a known source of the outbreak? Is there something I’m missing?
Also, Now I’m starting to wonder if maybe fears about Corona might be why it took Alison two months to ship to America. She did arrive from Putian, but that’s in a different part of China than it originated in. And while I can’t account for her whereabouts between December 11 and February 1, maybe there was some kind of quarantine? It’s worth noting that I’ve had her for 23 days and I get the impression that if I was exposed to it via some worker in the manufacturing process, I’d probably be symptomatic by now.
