"Very early on there was this [sample] that was different than anything we had seen."<p>> Johnson does not know if the person is contagious, nor does he know how they have managed to stay positive for COVID-19 for such an extended period of time.<p>So wild that it's a poo-analysis manhunt!<p>Now that the story is out, I wonder if there are people in the area leaving the team some pretty awesome voicemails. "look, I just know it's me, been sending y'all morse code in creamed corn, take me now"<p>Regardless though this would make a fascinating book or long read.
