She told my daughter that other than feeling a little off for 1 day, she felt fine.

My in-laws, both almost 87, live at an assisted living facility in NH. They tested positive two weeks ago. Neither has had a single symptom and tell us daily that they "feel fine". Both of them are in very good health, other than some mild dementia.

It is a very strange illness in that you can have 3 people like my in-laws and my daughter's co-worker who go through it without issue, and other folks are on death's door.
The “key” factor in most Chinese virus deaths are caused by pre-exsiting health conditions (talked about ad nauseum) and not the virus itself. Sounds simple to me...
