Zhan Qingyuan, director of pneumonia prevention and treatment at the China-Japan Friendship Hospital, said even people who have recovered may not be immune to the virus. "For those patients who have been cured, there is a likelihood of a relapse," he said in a briefing on Friday. "The antibody will be generated; however, in certain individuals, the antibody cannot last that long."

i would like to know what happens to your lungs with that shards of glass look in the xrays. have you got permanent damage.
if so, more complications down the road for many
That is so nice to know-not!
Just great.
I watched a clip two days ago with a doctor who is into viruses like this. He’d done the analysis, and projected out that the ‘peak’ will not occur until mid-April.
After it gets here, we can compare the symptoms to those of the flu strains that are going around—that is, those of us alive to continue posting then.
Must make it pretty hard to come up with a vaccine, I would think.
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...
If a quarantine saves just one child's life, it's worth it.
Please translate that. It makes no sense.
Thats not permanent.
I’ve never seen so many worriers in one place before. :)
CSC is doing what it needs to do.
If you feel sick go see a doctor.
And forget about it until then.
You’re likely gonna die from something besides this virus.
I almost guarantee it.
But wouldn’t the “peak” change from country to country with different peaks in each one?
In China look like the peak would supposedly be about 4 months after the start?
that is good to hear.
Do you happen to remember the doc, or where you saw the clip?
I heard something similar, on a CNBC Coronavirus special, earlier tonight...and, was questioning what I’d heard.
Thanks.
can’t translate. it is what it is. use your search engine if you dont understand.
And exactly how do they know this little facturd only six weeks into this epidemic? Have they had recovered nCoV victims get reinfected, or is this some nobody pulling this claim out of his rectum?
Thats just not how these things work. Your body develops antibodies to the virus which then kill that particular virus. If that virus shows up again, your body will produce what already knows how to make to kill it. Unless the virus has changed sufficiently to be unrecognizable, it cant reinfect someone who has had it and successfully fought it off.
I figure mine will be heart attack or stroke given family..or lung cancer from the idiots who blow smoke in my face at the casino.
but then again..i did have a young relative die from the flu in less than 96 hours years ago...so you just never know.
Lets see... coronavirus, swine flu and bird flu. And the Communist Chinese are butthurt over xenophobia and racism?
And Dutae is right there backing Winnie Xi Pooh up. He ordered Filipinos to stop attacking or complaining about their Chinese masters online.
Ground-glass opacification/opacity (GGO) is a descriptive term referring to an area of increased attenuation in the lung on computed tomography (CT) with preserved bronchial and vascular markings. It is a non-specific sign with a wide etiology including infection, chronic interstitial disease and acute alveolar disease.
I hadn't heard of this until this new virus discussion started. I didn't realize that "ground glass opacification" can have so many cases.
