Recovered coronavirus patients in China test positive weeks later

By Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

....
Doctors in Wuhan, where the outbreak emerged in December, say the patients all tested negative for COVID-19 at some point during their recovery — but then began testing positive again without showing symptoms as much as 70 days after being cleared.

Chinese officials have not released numbers on how many coronavirus patients are part of the phenomenon, but data from Chinese hospitals obtained by Reuters and other media outlets suggest there are at least dozens.

So far, there have been no confirmations of newly positive patients infecting others, according to
Chinese health officials.....

In South Korea, about 1,000 people have reportedly tested positive for four weeks or more, while officials in Italy found that patients could test positive for over a month.

EID - Population-Based Estimates of Chronic Conditions Affecting Risk for Complications from Coronavirus Disease, United States

We estimated that 45.4% of US adults are potentially at increased risk for complications from COVID-19 because of chronic conditions that are, in turn, associated with common modifiable risk factors. Such estimates will vary depending on exact criteria used and the prevalence of the risk factors associated with the chronic conditions, along with age, state of residence, and other demographic factors.

“In South Korea, about 1,000 people have reportedly tested positive for four weeks or more, while officials in Italy found that patients could test positive for over a month.”

I’m interested in whether the ‘cured’ people who still test positive ever get sick again. From what I’ve heard, that’s not happening.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that China is spreading propaganda on our nets to induce panic.

We need to be careful of this propaganda when evaluating news stories.

I’m beginning to think that this has been the CCP goal all along - to hype this virus to the max to force Western countries to close their economies.
