The evil cycle.
What is happening in China can come up next in countries that are now fighting Coronavirus and seing a decline in the number of infections.




THE CORONAVIRUS CRISIS
Mystery In Wuhan: Recovered Coronavirus Patients Test Negative ... Then Positive
March 27, 20209:28 AM ET


A spate of mysterious second-time infections is calling into question the accuracy of COVID-19 diagnostic tools even as China prepares to lift quarantine measures to allow residents to leave the epicenter of its outbreak next month. It's also raising concerns of a possible second wave of cases.

From March 18-22, the Chinese city of Wuhan reported no new cases of the virus through domestic transmission — that is, infection passed on from one person to another. The achievement was seen as a turning point in efforts to contain the virus, which has infected more than 80,000 people in China. Wuhan was particularly hard-hit, with more than half of all confirmed cases in the country.

But some Wuhan residents who had tested positive earlier and then recovered from the disease are testing positive for the virus a second time. Based on data from several quarantine facilities in the city, which house patients for further observation after their discharge from hospitals, about 5%-10% of patients pronounced "recovered" have tested positive again.

Some of those who retested positive appear to be asymptomatic carriers — those who carry the virus and are possibly infectious but do not exhibit any of the illness's associated symptoms — suggesting that the outbreak in Wuhan is not close to being over.

Everything is wrong with this story, you can shred it just from the headline. It says recovered Corona patient test Negative, then test positive.

Judging by the headline, the person was obviously positive, then recovered and then tested positive again , how did he in between test Negative in the whole scenario ? It's a news from NPR so I can tell much of it is a editorial edition cooked up to drive up some kind of Agenda and reaction hoping it with drive public opinion and government policy.

Don't mind the iddiot. This happened due to faulty test kits which have been replaced since. It's a February occurrence.


Anyone that would cause unnecessary panic over covid19 just for profit and traffic will not live to see the aftermath of the pandemic...panafrican you hear?
