Scary but it’s only one case. File it under “keep an eye out for more“.

100%. Could be that she has the flu now and the test is picking up dead cells.

Does flu usually come with a dry cough?

[CountValentine]

If anyone believes this is our fatality rate, they are delusional.

That is how the rate is determined.

If we had a competent government somebody would be doing a PFU assay to see it if she's now contagious. We are worse than China

in the article it states the doctors believe it is dead virus cells

Also she went to the hospital with symptoms of headache and high blood pressure not usual corona symptoms

she had a dry cough the first time around. It doesn't say she has one now

Just want to point out that her doctors believe that the virus went dormant and reemerged. The other experts quoted are in no way associated with her case and are commenting off the cuff about their understanding of Covid or other viruses in general.

Whether she has Covid again or not, her case will be interesting to follow, if only to see how her previous bout with Covid alters her body's ability to fight off whatever this is.

The question is how likely is that to happen to anyone else (and can we test someone to find out if they are carrying the dormant virus and/or are contagious).

I don't think there will be an answer to this for another little while. I'm curious to hear why epidemiologists are dismissing it out of hand, when it's common for antibodies of other coronaviruses to last 3-6 months. It doesn't seem like an absurd idea.

You can be immune to a virus without having IgG antibodies.

/not even remotely an immunologist

Is the US death rate from Covid 10+%??

IF we look at the end game, either you got better or died, the numbers are 117,000 dead 840,00 recovered. that is a 1 in 8 death rate?!?

What am I missing?

Positive cases divided by deaths.
Currently around 5.5%

If anyone believes this is our fatality rate, they are delusional.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-01738-2 according to this it's under 1% (which is still high)

Looks like I was close

Looks like a fatality rate of about 0.75% to me.

Another one, but very different circumstances and a little more easily explainable:

And now we have something to explain everything (from the comments).

This engineered virus was released to rid the world of the old people on govt retirement money. They just F-d up and it got out too soon. The virus was intended to release a bunch of inheritance into the economy while ending most retirement payments by govt.

It could have been a spectacular event had it started in the USA and caught us (more) off guard. Millions of cases, all at once here in the USA, with only the globalist Dr. Fauci doing his "sky is falling" act.

Lol. Biggest "winners" of this virus have been Social Security and Medicare.

Is anyone able to track down the CHOP model quoted in this article?
