I don't think people knew (even medical professionals) how many people were going to be Assymptomatic.
On a side note, I'm in WA state and I'm almost positive my daughter and I had the virus in February. I wish they would hurry with the antibodies test. I think it would make a lot of sense for EVERYBODY to take THAT test. Unlike actually testing for the virus, it would give the CDC two VERY important pieces of information:
#1 how many total cases
#2 how many Assymptomatic cases (which is becoming more and more important)
This way they could get a feel for the percentage of Assymptomatic people, and the average age as well.
People say, just test the entire population, but if someone years negative, but then gets it within the next 48 hours, then that's just pointless and doesn't help. It also doesn't help if people aren't going to stay at home as well. If people would just stay at home and do what they are supposed to do, than that would be something, but that's just not possible.
When my daughter and I were sick, we definitely were NOT Assymptomatic. Not that I like to share my age, but I'll say, because I think it's important. I'm 39 and she's only 7. When she came back from a visit with her father, I could tell that she sounded nasally, but she wasn't actually plugged up. It was weird. She said she felt fine, but within hours of getting her back, she had a fever (101.9°), then within 36 hours, I had a fever as well. I contacted her half brother and sister's Mother (because I have a Domestic Violence Protection Order against her Father), and found out that her half brother and sister, were very sick as well. They live in King County, and were on the same visit with my daughter, so it's just a bit IRONIC with how things ended up happening in King/Snohomish county.
After the fever, we ended up with the worst case of like a bronchitis. We've both had to informs
Influenza virus last year (me the A strain and her the B), and this was almost as bad. It was weird because it was only in the chest. Instead of the influenza virus where you are plugged up and all "snotty," all the mucus with this "thing," was in our chests. Super weird. Who knows what it was, but given the timeline in my state and everything, I would really like to know.
I really hope they have the antibody test soon. I think that would be great for everyone.
The more information the better!
