My parents went on a two week vacation to Switzerland and have been back in the United States for around a week. In the last few days they’ve gotten very sick. The symptoms seem like covid or the flu, but my dad said their doctor ruled those out as well as strep throat. I’m sure they ran additional tests as well. Has anyone heard about something like this going around? Should I be concerned? FWIW I’ve been around them the entire time they’ve been sick and I haven’t caught anything.
I live near switzerland, and there is this new lung infection that is spreading over here. It is viral unfortunately, which means no antibiotics.
Your parents should have gone to a doctor in switzerland.
As for being worried, basically everyone around me have been getting sick lately but no one is seriously ill because of it. It did take a while for them to be feel better tho.
I hope it helps!
I know they have much better healthcare there, but they weren’t showing symptoms until after they returned to the US and I don’t know many well people that waste time going to doctors lol
