@DocJeffD says Seattle-King County has a large & complicated investigation ahead of them. A point that might not have been immediately clear: 2 health facilities are involved here. A long-term care facility, were there are cases & the hospital where the man died from#Covid19.Diesen Thread anzeigen -
8. It's not currently known how the man who died from
#Covid19 became infected. Because he was in hospital before he was identified as a case, there is a risk patients/health workers/people who visited patients were exposed to the virus.Diesen Thread anzeigen

Regarding the long term care facility. Have they tested for the flu? Not COVID 19 but the flu? Sounds like a visitor or healthcare worker may have brought the flu into the facility.

They will have started with that.

We go thru this every year with Gastroenteritis (Norovirus) and Influenza in these facilities. I've seen 50% or greater ill in one facility. This October one facility we go to quite often in King County had almost 100% of staff ill and their family members at home ill as well.

The big problem is with how significant the CFR gets as the age of the patient and the amount of co morbidity go up.
