1_SWIER_KEVIN_elk2Hi Kevin!
I am a Small World Initiative Academy Recruit, and I am here to help figure out where and how everyone got sick.
I have some questions for you.
[[How are you feeling?|K - How are you feeling?]]
[[When did you begin experiencing symptoms?| K - When did you first experience symptoms?]]
[[Where have you been in the past week?| K - Where have you been in the past week?]]It is still hard to breathe without extra oxygen, but my dangerously high fever is finally coming down. I hope that I can hike again some day.
[[Do you usually go exploring outdoors?|K - Out in Nature]]
[[When did you begin experiencing symptoms?| K - When did you first experience symptoms?]]
[[Where have you been with in the past week?| K - Where have you been in the past week?]]I started feeling sick on Thursday the 12th.
[[Have you been in contact with anyone after that?|Further contact]]
[[How are you feeling?|K - How are you feeling?]]
[[Where have you been with in the past week?| K - Where have you been in the past week?]]The usual...the park for camping, band practice, and the restaurant for Cindy's birthday.
[[Do you go to the park often?|K - Out in Nature]]
[[Tell me more about band practice.| K - Band Practice]]
[[Tell me more about the restaurant.| L - Restaurant]]All the time! Just last week, I went camping in the park.
[[Vectors like bugs can spread diseases. Did you get any bug bites?|K - Bug bites]]
[[Did anyone go camping with you at the park?| K - People Park]]
[[Were you feeling sick at the park?| K - sick at the park]]Oh, they ate me alive like it was last call at an all-you-can-eat buffet! I am used to that though. Better than this high fever.
[[Did anyone go camping with you to the park?| K - People Park]]
[[Were you feeling sick at the park?| K - sick at the park]]Yes, my camping buddies Phoebe and Ryan joined. They are the best to be in nature with.
[[Did any of them get bitten as well?| K - More Bug bites]]
[[Are any of them also sick?| K- Sick Park]]Ryan got a lot of bites as well, but Phoebe is always really careful with bug repellents and stuff. Not a bite on her.
[[Are any of them also sick?| K- Sick Park]]Phoebe is also in the hospital, but Ryan is feeling fine.
I guess this rules out vectors, right?
[[You are right! When did you begin experiencing symptoms?| K - When did you first experience symptoms?]]
[[You are right! Where have you been in the past week?| K - Where have you been in the past week?]]No, we went to the park on Friday the 6th, and I only started feeling sick last Thursday on the 12th.
[[Vectors like bugs can spread diseases when biting someone. Any bug bites?|K - Bug bites]]
[[Did anyone go camping with you at the park?| K - People Park]]Oh, I am in a band called Redaerps Repus. Cool name, huh? I am always asked about it. Our group crafted the name from a fictional language called Esrever Rorrim, which really tells you the source of everything if you learn it. Even cooler than Elvish and Dothraki. I play the keytar, and we rock! We practice every other Sunday, and we had practice on the 8th.
[[Who else is in the band?|K - people in the band]]
[[Is anyone else feeling sick?| k- band sick]]Oh, it was my sister Cindy's birthday on Tuesday the 10th. Gabe, Phoebe, Maria, and I threw a surprise birthday party for her.
[[What did you eat? Foods that are not washed or cooked correctly can be vehicles for infectious diseases.|K - Restaurant Food]]
[[Is anyone else sick who went to the restaurant?|K - Restaurant sick]]Gabe, Maria, Phoebe and John.
[[Is anyone else from the band feeling sick?| k- band sick]]Everyone except for John. Lucky one.
Does this rule out the band practice?
[[Not sure...I need more information. When did you begin experiencing symptoms?| K - When did you first experience symptoms?]]
[[Not sure...I need more information. Where have you been in the past week?| K - Where have you been in the past week?]]Oh, it was frigid cold that day, so we all had some piping hot soup. I remember thinking...really...we're having soup to celebrate a birthday?!?
I guess this rules out vehicles, right?
[[At least not from the food at that restaurant! What else have you been eating during the past week?| K - regular food]]
[[When did you first experience symptoms?| K - When did you first experience symptoms?]]
[[Where have you been in the past week?| K - Where have you been in the past week?]]Everyone that got sick was there: Gabe, Phoebe, Maria, and me.
[[How about Cindy?|K restaurant Cindy]]
[[What did you eat? Foods that are not washed or cooked correctly can be vehicles for infectious diseases.|K - Restaurant Food]]Cindy is not feeling sick. Oh, boy, I hope she didn't get it.
[[She may have been infected, but I need to get more information. What did you eat? Foods that are not washed or cooked correctly can be vehicles for infectious diseases.|K - Restaurant Food]]Yes, I have been hanging out with some of my friends in Fnite.
[[In Fortnite? In person or just virtually?|In person/virtually]]Oh...haha...yes, just virtually in Fortnite. I guess that they can't get infected that way unless it was a computer virus, right?
[[Yes, that's correct. How are you feeling?|K - How are you feeling?]]
[[Where have you been in the past week?| K - Where have you been in the past week?]]When I am not eating out, I eat a solid diet of hot dogs and fries all day every day solo chez moi. A few months ago, I won a year supply of hot dogs and fries and have made a pledge to slowly work through my freezer supply. Lots of tasty protein and carbs. Pretty awesome, right???
Do you think that made me sick?
[[While that doesn't sound too healthy, I don't believe that made you sick because you have been eating from the same batch for quite some time. When did you first experience symptoms?| K - When did you first experience symptoms?]]
