I think these are the moments I especially love in your writing. Offhand comments that hint at so much more beneath the surface. It keeps the characters feel alive off the show and off the page. Not just existing to get through the crisis of the week/fic.
That may be the nicest writing comment anyone's ever given me.
I didn't realize Chelsea may still be patient zero, btw. But I did keep wondering how the flu ended up in the UK after she'd arrived here in Colorado Springs. If she was patient zero there first...and that's really cool. That the sickness this time might not actually be from the alien mumbo jumbo!
Since the SGC wouldn't have reported Daniel's or Janet's cases to the CDC, the CDC traced the virus back to Chelsea as patient zero. But if Daniel didn't bring the bug back through the stargate, then it stands to reason that the CDC was probably right and Chelsea was or was close to the primary infection case. Poor little squirt infected her mother, then flew to Denver, infecting a bunch of people on her flight (some of whom would have had connecting flights elsewhere), and then infected her father, Daniel, and a few other unfortunates in the grocery store and wherever else she went before she got sick. Then there'd be the doctors and hospital staff treating her before they knew they had a superbug on their hands...fun stuff.
Thanks so much for the kindly review, as well as for the commentary idea.
