(33,643 posts)Sounds like there's no way to know how long he'd had it. But presumably he didn't have symptoms, at least not serious ones prior to 3 days before his death. And that's scary to consider, esp. when he's only 38.
Then again, they don't know cause of death yet.

An outbreak at the district's secondary school was reported the previous week, Frazier said, believed to be linked to students who were getting together outside school and spreading the virus. He said some of the students brought the virus to school.
