Pretty sure that the article says you get it and you recover and you still have it. Maybe the headline is alarmist. Does that mean you can give it to someone after you recover. Does that mean you can relapse. Article say a guy in germany got it, later felt sick, skipped a day of work, went back to work and then felt sick again.

Good Grief. You said you didn’t read the darn article. I did read it twice. That twitter conclusion/headline is not what the article from the Medical Journal had to say at all.

When you have a cold, and stay home from work, then feel better and go back to work, but are still not 100% over it, even if not coughing and sneezing—you are not recovered.

The article said patient 1 felt better-it didn’t say he had recovered. Do you understand the cycle of a cold or flu virus? Feeling better and being Asymptomatic is NOT recovery. Your body in some illnesses will continue to shed contagious substances even after your symptoms are gone as part of the recovery to get rid of the foreign stuff.

And even after you recover from a cold, later on you may get another cold—you don’t necessarily have immunity like you do with measles. Understand? Just think of it as a worse than usual cold and like the regular flu.

HERE’S THE TWITTER GUYS “HEADLINE”
The New England Journal of Medicine says that 2019 novel corona virus stays with you and you remain a carrier even after you are recovered and no longer showing symptoms.

HERE’S THE JOURNAL’S HEADLINE:
Transmission of 2019-nCoV Infection from an Asymptomatic Contact in Germany

TWITTER GUY’S HEADLINE IS MISLEADING—READ THE ARTICLE YOURSELF:
