SHANGHAI/LONDON - A growing number of discharged coronavirus patients in China and elsewhere are testing positive after recovering, sometimes weeks after being allowed to leave the hospital, which could make the epidemic harder to eradicate.
An official at China’s National Health Commission said on Friday that such patients have not been found to be infectious. Paul Hunter, a professor of medicine at Britain’s University of East Anglia who has been closely following the outbreak, told Reuters that although the patient in Osaka could have relapsed, it is also possible that the virus was still being released into her system from the initial infection, and she wasn’t tested properly before she was discharged.
In China, for instance, patients must test negative, show no symptoms and have no abnormalities on X-rays before they are discharged. Normally, convalescing patients will develop specific antibodies that render them immune to the virus that infected them, but reinfection is not impossible, said Adam Kamradt-Scott, a specialist in infectious diseases at the University of Sydney.
So either the discharge test was faulty or we really have a sleeper.
Wow. Just wow. A super bug. It’s like it’s just waiting for the hosts immunity to drop. Smart virus.
Pinned to my page is a livestream from a busy Thailand tourist spot. Hundreds of foreign tourists oblivious to COVID19, taking no precautions in a country the size of Cali with (supposedly) 41 cases. They all have to get on planes and come home at some point. Please check it out
Questions like what does the test actually measure and how does that relate to actual disease and potential to infect others?
Yes and it’s awful to think Apple is sending their workers back to the factory to work. I guess money is more important to them coronavirusus
