God news and encouraging for those close in age to him.

As to our British friends, I hope Dulwich will stop by to let us know she and her daughter are well.

I hope that was an old video, because he was shaking hands and there was no social distancing.

Could he still be a carrier? Or is the virus gone from your system if you're "recovered?"

i wouldn't think so. Once it goes through your system (& you're isolated) it dies. That's it. It's not lurking anywhere inside of you. It's a type of flu. It behaves like other flus. There is nothng in the news (& it's a ton of it) about you being quanrteed again because you're recovered. It's not a typhoid. After you recover, it's like any type of illness. You need to rest a day or so afterwards.

@songbird I just read an article in yesterday's newspaper that doctors in China are now finding people who recovered from corona are testing positive for it again, but with no symptoms. It is puzzling the doctors.

That's great and I'd love to know the count on those who have come out the other side of it, like this.

They could have conracted it again. You can do that in other flus. But it's not living inside of you. The virus that infected you died. You are not a carrier. There is a pandemc going. You can get the flu sevral times with in a season.

This flu might come back in the fall.

@songbird

It’s not “a type of flu.” From Johns Hopkins website:

Influenza (the flu) and COVID-19, the illness caused by the new coronavirus, are both infectious respiratory illnesses. Although the symptoms of COVID-19 and the flu can look similar, the two illnesses are caused by different viruses.

@occasionalrain How kind of you to ask about us thank you.

We are all ‘isolating’ washing hands, doing video Drs appointments, no visitors though 2 members have to go into work as essential services once or twice a week (garbage industry) but they strip off before coming in - we have garden shed!) - then we wash their clothes, etc. as do not want to infect DD.

I am thankful we are here in U.S. as my country very slow to ‘stay in place’ and the NHS will be totally over loaded. Glad to say all family there all o.k. and some have moved to our home in West Country out of London where there are fewer people but easier to isolate.

Keep safe all, our saying here is wash everybody and everything then do it all again.

@dulwich. Is that your Cornwall home you referred to?

I'm glad you are in the U.S. also! 🙂

Thank you for your nice comment. Yes they’re In Cornwall commonly called West Country so house is full of Londoners! Hope you are doing good during all this period but I know it is all for the best.

_______________________________________________________

Viruses are not considered living organisms because they contain no cell structure. I know it is commonly termniology, but viruses don't die because they aren't really alive. They have to obtain an acceptable cell in an appropriate host to replicate using the host's cell structure. They cannot replicate on their own. One reason there are so few anti-virals today. They honestly are tricky little things. Totally different than a bacteria.

Yes, you can get influenza more than one time a season, but you do not get the same strain of influenza more than once. If that were the case, there would be no vaccine that would provide any protection for any strain of virus or other viral disease.

@Pearlee, I haven't seen any clinical articles about people being reinfected. I do know there are several clinical articles out there that viral shedding does occur for days after symptoms decline. In other countries where testing has been more available, many of them have adopted the practice of requiring 2 negative tests at least 24 hours apart.

There is quite a bit of discussion from various medical individuals as to whether or not someone is still contagious after a "typical" recovery since some continue to test positive for multiple days after recovery.
