ALMOST SIMILAR TO THE FLU.
FEVER AND COUGH ARE THE MOST
COMMON.
SHORTNESS OF BREATH.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE OTHER4@ SYMPTO.
RUNNY NOSE AND SORE THROAT, BUT
THOSE ARE A SMALLER PERCENTAGE
OF PATIENTS.
THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE.
FOUR4@ OUT OF FIVE THAT GET
INFECTED WITH THIS VIRUS WILL BE
ABLE TO4@ RECOVER AT HOME AND D
FINE, IT WILL BE LIKE HAVING A
GENERAL CASE OF THE4@ FLU.
THEY WILL FEEL BAD FOR A WEEK

UP WITHES THAT NEED TO BE PUT ON
A VENTILATOR AND THE WORSE CASE

COMMUNITIES.

WE EXPECTING THE NUMBERS TO
TREND UP OR LOOKI4@NG FOR THEM
GO DOWN?
>> I THINK WE'LL SEE AN INCREASE
BEFORE A DECREASE AND I THINK
THE P4@EOPLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA
NEED TO REALIZE THAT THE NUMBERS
ARE GOING UP.
HOW FAST4@ THEY DO THAT AND HOW
HIGH THEY GO COULD BE AFFECTED
BY HOW MUCH4@ PEOPLE HELP EACH
OTHER AND DO THAT SOCIAL
DISTANCING.
STAY IN THEIR HOMES AWAY FROM4@
OTHER PEOPLE.

IT IN SOUTH CAROLINA?
>> NO MA'AM.
>> DARCI:, BUT IT APPEARS AS
MORE CASES ARE COMING THAT AGE
ADVANTAGE SHIFTING TOWARD THE4@
YOUNGER POPULATION?
WHAT4@ DOES THAT LOOK LIKE FOR
SPECIFICALLY IN SOUTH CAROLINA?
ARE WE TRENDING THAT SAME WAY,
AND IF YOU ARE, WHAT DO YOU SAY
TO THE YOUNG FOLKS WATCHING
TODAY?
>> NATION-WIDE, YES THE DATA
OPPOSITE VERY EARLY, BUT IT'S
BEGINNING TO4@ LOOK TO SHIFT MO
TOWARDS THAT MILLENNIAL4@
GENERATION.
THEY'RE NOT THE MAJORITY, BUT
THERE'S AN4@ INCREASE IN THAT

IDENTIFIABLE 4@CAUSE.4@
WE HAVE DONE THOROUGH4@
INVESTIGATIONS LOOKING INTO
ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING, BUT
THERE'S NO ONE SOURCE SO FAR SO
REALLY AT4@ THIS POINT WE NEED
ENCOURAGE THE PREVENTION
STRATEGY TO KEEP IT FROM
SPREADING MORE.
