Texas A&M student suspected of having coronavirus, state health officials investigating
Quote:
Brazos County’s health department is investigating a suspected case of the the mystery pneumonia-like virus that has claimed 18 lives in China and was confirmed in the U.S. for the first time earlier this week.
The department said in a tweet that the patient had traveled from Wuhan, China, the district where the so-called 2019 novel coronavirus originated.
The case would be the first for the state of Texas. Roughly 90 miles outside of Houston, Brazos County is home to the cities of Bryan and College Station, where Texas A&M University is located.
Another departmental tweet said health-care providers in the area were aware of public health guidance about the virus and quickly recognized the patient met the criteria for testing. The patient, a Texas A&M student, is being kept isolated at home.

Meanwhile, all the people she has been around the last 10 days, in school, at the airport, grocery store, etc. are off and about to spread their own spores.
Next time you go to Olive garden and you reach for the Parmesan cheese shaker, consider how many other hands have been on that thing.
When you go to the grocery store and grab a cart... how many unwashed hands have been on that handle.
Ominous.
