Given the symptoms reported… There was no reason to expect anything out of the ordinary.

“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],” Padilla said.

At the moment of leaving this comment at least two people completely missed your sarcasm

People are downvoting because if you read the article the woman’s symptoms as described to the physician were not that of the virus

random question, how can you see how many downvotes vs upvotes?

Depends on the client/instance I guess? I can see it in Jerboa just fine.

I used to cure five or six women a day but I got carpal tunnel and invented a little machine to help.

They told me my collapsed lung was anxiety. I’m a guy.

They’re just really used to diagnosing anxiety when people have a certain cluster of symptoms including presenting with anxiety . Still sucks but if damages happened as a result they could be liable.
