Interative presentation of how the Virus Won

How the Virus Won
Invisible outbreaks sprang up everywhere. The United States ignored the warning signs. We analyzed travel patterns, hidden infections and genetic data to show how the epidemic spun out of control.

atypical for a cold or flu-- for which I'd been vaccinated... But this seems to confirm that Denver was already circulating virus in mid to late February from international travelers from both Europe and Asia, so the timing now makes me more suspicious.

Regardless, even if I was tested and found to have antibodies, I have little faith in either the accuracy of most antibody testing nor that it represents any real immunity so it is all nothing more than a curiosity. Nothing changes.

just after the Christmas holidays. They had traveled to Massachusetts for the holidays. She now is sure they both contacted the virus while they were there. Not sure if they've been tested for the antibodies.
