We have already had 2 patients with exposure and symptoms come into my lung clinic. People can make fun all they want but I mask/glove up at work daily.
We now are screening every patient that comes in with a cough for possible exposure, since this is high flu/cold/URI season EVERYONE has a damn cough
.
The COV19 is transmissible even when patients are asymptomatic. We also have not determined the original vector and there are no antivirals that are effective against it. Hopefully it will get knocked down in the spring time (fingers crossed) if the mortality rate is as high as being predicted, it's a nasty virus.
