People with severe COVID-19, many of whom are hospitalized, could be infectious for as long as 20 days, though most of them are not.

The majority of those with severe disease, more than 88%, were no longer infectious after 10 days. Ninety-five percent were no longer infectious after 20 days, the CDC said.COVID-19 is a wily virus in that patients seem to be most infectious two to three days before they begin to show symptoms, Shapiro said.cited by the CDC found people were much more likely to catch COVID-19 if they were exposed to someone who was sick within the first five days the person having symptoms.

It did note that SARS-CoC-2 virus emerged only in December, and there aren't many places where there have been many infections for that entire time, so possible reinfection is still a subject of investigation. The first is that testing may find bits of the virus in a recovered patient's nasal cavity, but the viral particles are no longer capable of reproducing. That test result could come up as positive but the person wouldn't be able to infect others.

Could be, could not be? The CDC issued guidance telling hospitals to list Covid-19 as the cause of death regardless of whether or not there’s actual testing to confirm that’s the case. Why should we listen to the CDC?

Sounds like groundwork to rail against Cuomo & Murphy

'Could be, might be, maybe, but most of them are not' what kind of BS is this?

Most people like me who suffer serious child abuse die from suicide. Millions of deaths per year. Worse than COVD. Totally ignored.

WHEN DOES THE STUPID FEAR MONGERING COMMENTS STOP USA Today? REALLY? INFECTIOUS FOR AS LONG AS 20 DAYS..WTF DOES THIS BS COME FROM?

So glad to hear this. Me and my wife are trying to have a baby and I'm getting tired of sending it over to her in a tube.

👏🏼 congrats! You win the prize for the most deceitful headline of the day!
