Yes, I tested positive!
Remember, I had weeks of no symptoms until the recent muscle pains.

Testing positive means you had the virus at one point.

You can test positive for RSV 9  months after having it.

My point is, its possible these test are picking up dead cells or alike, its not indicative of being contagious, ETC.

Thats not what testing postive means at all. The test uses rt-pcr to amplify the actual RNA of the virus. The virus doesn't embed itself into host DNA, and doesnt just float around the body. If you dont have a viral load, a rt-pcr test shouldn't pick it up later

I am repeating what a hospital and Dr have been telling patients.

I dont know what type of test you took, there are many different types using different methods all with different error rates. I never studied this subject so I cant really comment on this, beyond what I've heard first hand.

I took a nasal culture.

Possibly.
Either way I was sick for a while, then symptom free for 3-4 weeks, and then it came back.
Pretty scary.

Just a thought, is it possible the new symptoms are not COVID, and you tested positive just like all the other people who tested positive weeks after getting over the symptoms and presumably no longer contagious?
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

Defiantly possible.
No one really knows, as this is an entirely new virus.
A few doctors have told me so.

hasn't aspirin etc. been detrimental to covid patients?

Many doctors recommending Aspirin-81mg because some COVID-19 patients have developed DVT's. I myself was recommended to take Aspirin by my PCP after my COVID-19 spell. We give all our COVID patients at my SNF anticoagulants, many hospitals d/c w/ anticoagulants as well.


This virus is constantly mutating. My assumption is it's definitely possible to get it again as a different strain. Stay safe!

Anyone experience sever lower back pain during a second bout?
Asking for a family member. Hoping it's not a pelvic DVT.

If this virus is mutating what will the vaccine which will be ready in a year be worth? It will be based on the current strain which might long be dead by then.

All of the information I have seen points to this not being the case in any manner of significance.

Basically a second positive dosnt nesecerally mean much.
We knew this was a possibility, but that article does seem pretty reassuring. Not confirmation, but they do seem to believe it strongly. Post in the good news thread!
