Actually, my fiancee is a clinical pharmacist at the local hospital that treated the first two cases here in SD. Just a pretty nasty flu at this point. Though, flu is able to evolve via recombination and reassortment.
This is in Kansas, California, and Texas, and New York, apparently. This leaves Green Bay, and you’ll have covered every side of the US. The incubation period is 3-5 days, so all those kids in NYC, who coughed on their hands, then opened the store door, which was then opened by the Janitor on his way to the Bank Building where he cleaned offices all day, which were then occupied by bankers, some of whom stopped by the office to get a bit of work done before catching a flight to Anytown USA for a sales meeting…
It’s in the US, and has made it to hundreds. If it is going to be bad, the dye is cast, and we should know by Friday at the latest.
