Coronavirus symptoms can stick around for weeks, even in otherwise healthy people who don't have a severe case of the virus, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a grim new analysis.

The CDC surveyed 292 people who tested positive for the virus, and 35 per cent said they still weren't back to their usual good health even two or three weeks after testing positive.

On Friday, the US Food and Drug Administration announced an emergency use authorization for the first coronavirus test for asymptomatic cases -- and even people who think they aren't infected at all. "I think as we get into 2021, several months in, that you would have vaccine that would be widely available to people in the United States," Fauci told the Washington Post's Bob Costa during a Post Live event.

"There's already too much suspicion and hesitancy about vaccines, and the way to address that is to just say it like it is and be sure that we're saying what we're doing, when we're doing it, what we're learning, when we're learning it," said Frieden, who is now the president of Resolve to Save Lives.Months into the US coronavirus pandemic, states across the nation are still setting new records for infections and deaths.

The Georgia Department of Public Health reported 4,813 new cases of Covid-19 on Friday -- the highest number of new cases reported in a 24-hour period by the Georgia DPH since the pandemic began.New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Friday that dozens of bars and restaurants in the state face charges related to coronavirus violations just this week.

"I think the CDC has put some good guidance down. I just took a quick look at them before I started in on the program, which was sent to me by my colleagues at the CDC. So I think it's a sound set of guidelines," Fauci told Costa during the Post Live interview.

In case you did not know, the current admin in the US did not use the play book left by the Obama administration as they cancel everything Obama had ever touched ... if they never pulled out the scientists in China, this would never have been a pandemic...

Bullshit

Now do seasonal influenza

Oh CTV, running out of sensational Covid stories to come up with, so this is the best of what you have left?

I had SARS. I am now immune-compromised for LIFE. Unfortunately I had to leave working LetsGoToTheEX 2 days early last year. 1 of my team had a chest cough which in me developed to Pneumonia. I couldn't go back & risk spreading it to rest of my Team. COVID = same risk.

same as for influenza...

Yet most of us feel also nothing at all and need a sketchy test to know if we even have it...? 🙄

What we are facing now is the crisis of human survival. The CCP virus is taking countless lives every day. We must find out the truth of the virus. Only by taking down the CCP can mankind be safe.
