Re: Officials: Dozens at WA nursing facility show possible coronavirus symptoms
#2How do you differentiate influenza from covid-19? These folks probably just have the flu. I live in WA state and I had the worst case of the flu I can remember about 3 weeks ago. Did I have covid-19? No way to really know.

>These folks probably just have the flu.
Perhaps you're missing the part of the article that says:
>There are also two confirmed cases associated with the nursing facility.
I'm not trying to say they definitely have it, but it's foolish to brush this aside as "probably just the flu" when they appear to have been exposed to the virus.

From the article: "There are also two confirmed cases associated with the nursing facility."
Also, there was recently a death from Coronavirus in Seattle, and there has been community transmission in the nearby neighborhood of Mill Creek.
So, what evidence do you have that that "these folks probably have the flu"? At best you are dismissing concerns, at worst you are making things worse by trying to convince people not to take this seriously.

With a coronavirus test. The CDC screwed the pooch by shipping defective kits and restricting the criteria for getting tested.

Yes, but these folks were not tested correct?

#8>Health officials said that additional positive cases are not expected.
What does this mean? That everyone who could have got exposed are already sick? Or that two weeks have passed with no more new flu-like illnesses?

Again, from the article: Dr. Jeff Duchin with King County Public Health also said that an additional 27 residents and 25 staff members are reportedly ill with respiratory symptoms, hospitalized with pneumonia or are being tested for coronavirus.
And two people have confirmed cases and are currently hospitalized.

Yes, but the high number suggests that it may not be the flu, since immunity to flu lasts a few years, so people are unlikely to fall sick in high numbers like this, and also are in the same facility as people tested positive.
