The article does not mention sex or medical actions based on the sex of the doctors and the patients.
Fucking really?
Literally the first line of article:
A French woman who tested positive for hantavirus after she was evacuated from a cruise ship reported symptoms to doctors onboard but was told it was probably just anxiety, the Spanish health minister has said.
the woman…had been suffering flu-like symptoms but they appeared to be getting better and she did not have a fever.
“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.
“It is not that the patient was feeling bad and she was saying: ‘OK, I’m not going to say anything because I want to be on the plane.’ It was like: ‘OK, we have measured your temperature, it was not fever, afterwards you have been on the plane, it has taken off, you have started feeling bad, we have measured your temperature and it was fever.’”
Padilla said passengers could not have been tested onboard the vessel because there were no rapid PCR tests for hantavirus available. Any testing would have involved flying samples to Madrid to a specialist lab
She had no fever, she mentioned a brief cough that was gone, and then described feelings of anxiety. There were no tests that could be done there that would be definitive, so they cleared based on other factors. She didnt present any significant symptoms until she was on the flight.
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.
Fucking really?

Were you on a ship which had a disease outbreak and 11 cases?
That’s a very, very good point, but not the one you think it is.

^ much more problematic diagnosis.
What even are asymptomatic carriers smh my head

Well she literally reported anxiety, and a cough a few days prior that went away, according to the article…
