What were the specific symptoms she reported to the doctors?
If I go to the doctor and I report “I’m feeling generally nervous and a little scared”, I would expect the doctor to respond “That sounds like anxiety”.
If I report “I’m having a worsening cough, and body aches”, I’d expect “That sounds like a viral infection”.
If I were to report “I had a cough several days ago, but it has disappeared. I’m feeling generally nervous and a little scared”, should the doctor listen to what I am saying and conclude “anxiety”? Or should they focus solely on the symptom I reported in decline and conclude “virus”?
That’s a very, very good point, but not the one you think it is.
Of the ~240 people aboard the vessel, 100% are experiencing symptoms of “anxiety”, while about 5% have been identified as also experiencing “Hantavirus”.
Everyone aboard is quarantined, and regularly being interviewed by medical personnel to determine if they are symptomatic. Did she initially report virus symptoms along with the anxiety affecting everyone? Or did the virus symptoms appear later?
“Ma’am, even though you have reported no symptoms indicating you have contracted the virus, we’re going to go ahead and say you have it.”
Asymptomatic. Correct. You just agreed with the doctor that she was not displaying symptoms of Hantavirus.
Like the other 95% of asymptomatic people on board, she was already under quarantine. Like all of them, she was already being treated as an asymptomatic carrier.

Well she literally reported anxiety, and a cough a few days prior that went away, according to the article…
Were you on a ship which had a disease outbreak and 11 cases?
