    Women’s health concerns are always dismissed. They ignored my mom while she was in active labour off-and-on for a week. Only then, did they bother to check and her water had broken a week ago. I mean, at least I’m not dead 🤷

      The doctor believed the woman’s description of her symptoms as “anxiety”. Can you try to at least read the article before letting your confirmation bias fit it into a narrative?

        I mean the headline literally says the opposite. So I would blame the journalists here.

        But yeah, telling that there was a woman who was evacuated without symptoms but still tested positive later and who was also very anxious isn’t really worth a news story.
