Comment on That's some anxiety

I’m anxious you decided to take the out-of-context headline of an article you didn’t read and run with it:
“They were not thinking that these symptoms were compatible with hantavirus. Why? Because what she was telling [them] was [that she had] an episode of coughing some days ago that had disappeared, and what she was having at that moment was kind of like stress or anxiety or nervousness. So it was not catalogued [as hantavirus],” [Spanish health minister] Padilla said.

It’s still pretty lazy for a doctor to just agree with your own non professional take on the situation without even looking into it. The fact she was on the ship is by its self a reason to test for it/consider it a serious risk. It’s one thing if this was a random person, but she was from the Hanta Virus ship

A patient without a fever who describes having none of the symptoms of hantavirus? There’s a whole ship to triage. It’s still pretty lazy to pass judgment without reading the article, and to hang on to unrealistic expectations of what is possible.

Did you even read the full quote? By the time her tests were back in 24 hours, she probably would’ve been on death’s door had she still been on the ship. They clearly got her medical care as soon as they landed, and I seriously doubt they were sending her home.
I’m sorry, but the fact you’re calling it “Hanta Virus” tells me I should trust the doctors/epidemiologists and Spain’s health minister more than I trust some rando on the Internet spitballing “well they should’ve just done [thing]!!” Her condition began deteriorating literally on the evacuation plane; they didn’t just send her home.
