A growing number of recovered coronavirus patients in China continue to test positive for the deadly bug, according to reports.
Doctors in Wuhan, where the outbreak emerged in December, say the patients all tested negative for COVID-19 at some point during their recovery — but then began testing positive again without showing symptoms as much as 70 days after being cleared.
Chinese officials have not released numbers on how many coronavirus patients are part of the phenomenon, but data from Chinese hospitals obtained by Reuters and other media outlets suggest there are at least dozens.

Antibody tests are flooding the market, but only four so far are FDA-approved.
Dr. Mike, a family medicine physician, says we still don't have enough information to be able to confirm whether or not someone is immune to COVID-19 —even if the person has tested positive for and subsequently cleared coronavirus.
Unlike the measles or chicken pox vaccine, which ensure long-lasting immunity, the length of time for COVID-19 immunity is still a big unknown. "There exists an assumption where people think that if they test positive for antibodies, meaning that they have antibodies in their bloodstream, that they're automatically immune to COVID-19. And while that's decent thinking, it's not 100-percent accurate," he explained.
Moving forward, Dr. Mike Varshavski, w...

The smell may be hell but the mist could leave you pissed.
Two Australian doctors are weighing in about the spread of the coronavirus “down under” — whether it can be spread through farts, that is.
During Friday’s episode of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s “Coronacast” podcast, producer and host Dr. Norman Swan made a cautionary suggestion when it comes to particles of feces set adrift within a fart and the spread of COVID-19.
“No bare-bottom farting,” Swan advised about posterior pandemic panic, in a measured, mildly amused tone.
“Luckily, we wear a mask, which covers our farts all the time,” Swan said, referring to the protective aspects of pants, shorts, dresses, underwear and other garments. “I think that what we should do in terms of social d...

White House coronavirus task force member Dr. Anthony Fauci is urging caution about relying on coronavirus antibody tests to determine whether someone who has recovered from the illness is immune.
Fauci said on “Good Morning America” that “we still have a way to go” with antibody, or serology, tests, which check for proteins in the immune system through a blood sample.
The presence of proteins means a person was exposed to the coronavirus and developed antibodies against it, which may mean they have at least some immunity.
Health officials suggested that tests could be used as a way to help determine when to reopen communities.
“The problem is that these are tests that need to be validated and calibrated, and many of the tests out there don’t do that. So ev...
