Researchers found a middle-aged man who had mild symptoms but a prolonged version of the potentially deadly illness, according to reports.

Chinese researchers have warned of a new mutated version of coronavirus that could infect people for nearly two months.

Chinese military researchers found a middle-aged man who had the disease for 49 days, which is significantly longer than other durations of illness, according to reports.

He needed to be treated with a plasma transfusion from other COVID-19 sufferers who had recovered, it's claimed.

Previous research showed patients who survived the virus normally tested negative after 20 days on average, with the longest previous case at 37 days.

But despite the length of his illness the Chinese patient, who has not been named, had only relatively mild symptoms.

He had infected lesions to his lungs which disappeared shortly after he was taken to hospital.

Researchers said the patient's case might be 'chronic', which could suggest coronavirus has mutaed.

Quick! Ship it around the world.

Is there any chance the Great Wall of China was built by the Mongols to keep the coughing Chinese out?

I thought some Mexican billionaire dude owned NYT..................

"This wall was built to keep something in!"...................from King Kong...................

What did China do? Release all the Coronaviruses they had?

Reports of them studying these viruses and found them all in bats in caves in rural parts of China

These seems like it was done on purpose

[Chgogal]

Response: Nobody will buy China!

[catnipman]

good lord, man ... the UK Mirror is less credible than the U.S. National Inquirer ...

[Trump.Deplorable]

Never stopped Phillip Morris or GM or the Media

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

China.

They poison toothpaste and cough syrup.

If you believe anything they say, you need to be lightly watered, sprayed for aphids and placed on a sunny window sill.

Viruses mutate normally. That’s why every flu season we get a different version..................

[cuban leaf]

HAHAHAHA!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

They obviously want us to sequester ourselves for a longer period of time, thus destroying our own economy and allowing them to dominate the world.

NO SALE!!!

[Vermont Lt]

The only way they can rule the world is if we buy their crap.

So don’t buy their crap. If you “need” their crap...do without until you can buy it elsewhere.

Chinese news is what ever the Chicom dictators tell them it is.

Our media is jealous.

[sanjuanbob]

Fodder for the MSM
Well played, ChiComs...well played.

[entropy12]

That is one macabre way to look at it.

[jersey117]

Found or developed?

[Sequoyah101]

They created this crap they should know what it does. Of course, when you make a Frankenstein disease you never know what it will mutate to become.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Just build a wall around China and be done with them.

I don’t know if that’s a new strain. A virus will last in you until your body wins or it wins. All the timing is relative and averages. Sure one guy can a cold for a long time if his immune system is too weak for a good fight but strong enough to not die.
