Well, not exactly. According to the College, no one in the state of New Hampshire has been officially diagnosed with the flu that apparently worked its way out of snakes into a bat and then into a human. Sound familiar?

A few hours after Valley News and WMUR broke news of suspected cases, Mark Reed and the Dartmouth College Health Service put out a statement that read: “We are not aware of any confirmed cases at Dartmouth or in New Hampshire.”

Two individuals are currently being monitored and quarantined. The one closest to Dartmouth being at Lebanon, barely a few miles away. Which hospital is monitoring this? Is the patient being treated and quarantined at DHMC? There are lots of questions—but no one seems to have an answer.

Addendum: As was pointed out in the comments, both individuals tested negative, and are not afflicted with coronavirus. Read more here.
