True, but the odds are that there would be other cases reported. If she had picked it up from an airline environment, there would be many others exposed.

She is young after all. And less likely to get sick than an elderly traveler.

I am just naturally suspicious, particularly in light of the fact that our country is undergoing a cold civil war (so far) and that Bre was on the front lines as a conservative reporter and commentator.

Not accurate. Some of the flu varieties are more likely to hit the younger victims harder than the older folks who have developed partial immunity through exposure to a similar variant earlier in life.
