HIDDEN KILLER Fears coronavirus can HIDE in cells and reactivate later after 51 recovered patients test positive again

FEARS have been raised that the coronavirus may be able to remain in the body and "reactivate" later after 51 recovered patients tested positive again.

The patients, from the city of Daegu, South Korea, had all spent time in quarantine while recovering from the virus, but were diagnosed again within days of being released.

South Korea has been among the most successful countries globally in controlling the outbreak, using strict quarantining and widespread testing to slow its spread of the virus.

The number of new cases being diagnosed each day in the country is now at levels last seen as the pandemic was getting underway in February.

The 51 cases were identified as part of a study conducted in Daegu, the epicentre of the outbreak in South Korea, by a team of epidemiologists from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The center said it did not believe the patients had been reinfected, but that the virus had remained at undetectable levels in their cells and later "reactivated".

The claim runs contrary to the bulk of current evidence about how the virus works.

Speaking to MailOnline, Paul Hunter, an infectious diseases professor at the University of East Anglia, said: "I agree that these will not be reinfections but I do not think these will be reactivations.

"Personally I think the most likely explanation is that the clearance samples were false negative."

Coronavirus patients are typically required to test negative twice before being allowed to leave quarantine.

Where this happens and they are later found to be infected, it is thought to be much more likely that the negative tests gave the wrong result.

The tests currently available produce an incorrect results roughly one in five times.

It is currently thought that coronavirus patients will remain immune from the disease in at least the medium-term once they have recovered.

Scientists have said previous reports of people becoming reinfected are concerning, but that much more evidence needs to be collected before conclusions can be drawn.

Speaking in February, Mark Harris, Professor of Virology at the University of Leeds, said: Clearly we need more information about these patients, such as were there underlying medical conditions or a change in circumstances that might have allowed the virus to escape immune control?

"This highlights the need for more research into the biology of the new coronavirus. It is very much early days in our efforts to understand it.”

The coronavirus has infected more than 1.3 million people globally and killed at least 73,608 since first breaking out in December.

This is serious. So it means those that are supposed to have recovered from it are still capable of spreading it after it reactivates in their system (after hiding in cells) , without even being aware. Wahala don dey.

It is a retrovirus. It has HIV strains. Of course it will keep reactivating.

OP, do not come to a conclusion like that. Which wan be "coronavirus can re-activate". Be careful angry. From the above quote, They had it in them but it didn't display symptoms. When symptoms started showing up, they discovered their tests' results were false negative.
The tests currently available produce an incorrect results roughly one in five times.
They were tested just once . That was a plain, rookie move. Tests like these should be conducted 2-3 times. Although, they were conducting a survey so it's probably an experiment.

Wait sef.. Lemme check the credibility of this news.

Black seed is said to be cure for all diseases except death.
That being said, it's a brilliant anti-inflammatory effect that work and bind perfectly to the cells and defend the cell from more damage and as well an repair the damage cells.
It's an inhibitor.
It fight against Free radical cells and disrupt their formation.
If you want some, I mean black seed oil
Cold press, undiluted
Check my signature
If you as well in need of supply of black seed for consumption or consultations, check my signature.
You can never go wrong with seed nutrition.
