The pediatricians up here in Seattle started coming around last week to the theory that COVID-19 presents as GI in peds. It's been "a weird flu season" and mostly what they've been seeing are a bunch of rogue pukers under the age of ten who don't have flu. lo and behold. The common refrain up here is "yeah that thing that bugged me all through February was probably Coronavirus" followed by "did you get tested?" followed by "lol." If you follow the gastrointestinal theory we've had community transmission in Seattle since early December. In November 1992 my sister spent three weeks in intensive care. Massive respiratory collapse. Tested negative to everything they could test for. They told us to get ready for her to die, age 14. She pulled through and none of us talk about it. What was it? Who the fuck knows. It certainly wasn't Hantavirus because it hadn't been "discovered" yet.
