How do cases like this ever get diagnosed? IME the standard of care for mild respiratory illness in the US tends to be basic symptom management, or maybe a standard diagnostic panel to determine whether to prescribe antibiotics. How does someone with mild symptoms get tested for a rare virus in the first place?
- shawabawa3 3y agoSeems it was diagnosed in cattle and this was a dairy worker, so probably everyone working in contact with infected cattle are tested
