Making Sense of COVID-19 Clusters

A great deal of medicine can be boiled down to basic pattern recognition.  Advance knowledge enables one to be better prepared—forewarned is forearmed.   Supportive interventions instituted at home, the hospital or even the intensive care unit, could improve patient survival.  After learning more about this research, the fact I had “flu-like” symptoms without a fever, was oddly reassuring. Hopefully, readers will find this information as comforting as I did.  Thankfully, my test came back negative.  And I will never take smelling my gardenias for granted again.
