(BPT) - A los 16 años, Terese "Reese" Termulo era una estudiante destacada, saludable y activa, además de bailarina, con un futuro prometedor por delante, cuando de repente enfermó de gripe.
El 9 de enero de 2020, su padre, el Dr. Cesar Termulo, pediatra en Dallas, Texas, recibió una llamada de la escuela en la que se le informaba que Reese se sentía mal. Termulo, quien sospechaba que podría haber contraído gripe, la llevó rápidamente a su consultorio, donde la prueba dio positivo para influenza B. Le administraron antivirales y regresó a casa para descansar y recuperarse.
