Scientists exposed to coronavirus wonder: why weren’t we notified?

“I’ve been in the ICU fighting … wait for it … Coronavirus!” tweeted a 38-year-old geneticist on Sunday. Clement Chow, from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, was in a hospital intensive care unit (ICU) in Utah. Pretty soon, two dozen geneticists who had attended a meeting with him nine days earlier saw the tweet. Many were worried for Chow, and also upset that this was the first they had heard about it.
