Day 315: The Pandemic Before the Pandemic

There's been a notable development in the collection of COVID-19 cases from 2018. Retrospective cases have been popping up for a while now, but the latest is special because it's a retrospective case of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in December. The patient was a four-year-old from the Milan area with no travel history, picked up (and a specimen preserved) by measles surveillance. More details on the case are available from the CDC letter.

Massachusetts cases were up 1.9% today.
