Just found out last night about a family member on the east coast who is person #4 we know with it. Supposedly this person is in the hospital. I am trying to verify with that person’s son whether that is true or not – we heard it like 4th hand and the son is a close friend of mine.
News spreads like wildfire in the family when someone gets a positive diagnosis. This really appears like it might be Scarlet Letter Version 2020.
If you do find out about someone with it, it would be wise to protect their identity. No telling what sort of repercussion such a diagnosis could have on their life – warranted or unwarranted. Not to mention it would be a HIPAA violation.
