Fourteen percent of patients infected with the new coronavirus and discharged from the hospital in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong after recovering have tested positive again, according to local health authorities.

The findings suggest that people who recovered from COVID-19 may have to be monitored for an extended period even after they have tested negative for the virus twice as stipulated under the health authorities' guidelines and released from the hospital.

My comment: Does this mean that the 14% discharged did not really recover yet but the virus became silent- undetected for a while. Could some of the 86% discharged still be silent carriers?

Or did they get re-infected indicating that no immunity is built up. Maybe you can catch it over and over like a cold.

...good thought......or this strain is simplly morphing as it travels from host to host?....that's scary.....

"The common cold is infectious from a few days before your symptoms appear until all of the symptoms are gone. Most people will be infectious for around 2 weeks. Symptoms are usually worse during the first 2 to 3 days, and this is when you're most likely to spread the virus"

I'm in the demographic that makes me more likely to die.  It's coming, I'm sure.  If I get it, so be it.  There's not a lot to be done to avoid it.  I wonder if it's like AIDS and has been quietly circulating.  People get the crud and either call it a bad cold or the flue while it may have been Covid 19 all along.  Who knows....?
