[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact is, students came back to college campuses from across the country, Europe, and China after Christmas break, when clearly the virus was already circulating, and were there for 2 and a half months and there isn't one report of transmission on a college campus. The risk is just very low not only to get ill from contracting the virus, but even for spreading it, among this age group. [/quote]

I almost think this is dumb, but my daughter had four Chinese international students on her hall. Her roommate went to Austria over winter break, her friend to Italy, etc. She moved back into college on January 14th. January 20th she called me and said she couldn’t breathe, her chest hurt, and her hands were tingly. She has mild asthma, but her inhaler wasn’t making a difference. The next day she had a temp of 103 for about 24 hours. To weak to get up and go to the doc, just wanted to sleep. Fever broke, but her lungs were awful and her heart was erratic. She went to the ER for a breathing treatment and they gave her meds to calm her heart down. No fever, cough, or congestion so they didn’t suspect flu. A couple friends were later diagnosed with “adenovirus” after testing negative for strep and flu and one ran a fever for 2 weeks and was on oxygen at home. A couple other friends who already knew they had mono randomly had high fevers of 103-104 and vomiting/diarrhea for a week or longer but the doctors said it was part of the mono. Who knows. Normal college stuff? Or was it here early? [/quote]
