Chinese doctors say Wuhan coronavirus reinfection even deadlier<\/a>
\nInstead of creating immunity the virus can reportedly reinfect an individual and hasten fatal heart attack<\/em><\/p>\n

TAIPEI (Taiwan News) \u2014 It\u2019s possible to get infected by the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) a second time, according to doctors on the frontline in China\u2019s city of Wuhan, leading to death from heart failure in some cases.<\/p>\n

The claim is made by doctors working in the Hubei Province capital that is at the center of the epidemic, which has to date infected 64,201 people and killed 1,487. One of the doctors reached out to a relative living in the United Kingdom, who then informed Taiwan News.<\/p>\n

Both the relative and doctors asked to remain anonymous, out of consideration they might face retribution from the Chinese authorities. The doctor, Li Wenliang (\u674e\u6587\u4eae), who first raised warnings about the Wuhan virus, was rebuked by the authorities before succumbing to the devastating disease himself earlier this month.<\/p>\n

According to the message forwarded to Taiwan News, \u201cIt\u2019s highly possible to get infected a second time. A few people recovered from the first time by their own immune system, but the meds they use are damaging their heart tissue, and when they get it the second time, the antibody doesn\u2019t help but makes it worse, and they die a sudden death from heart failure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The source also said the virus has \u201coutsmarted all of us,\u201d as it can hide symptoms for up to 24 days. This assertion has been made independently elsewhere, with Chinese pulmonologist Zhong Nanshan (\u937e\u5357\u5c71) saying the average incubation period is three days, but it can take as little as one day and up to 24 days to develop symptoms.<\/p>\n

Also, the source said that false negative tests for the virus are fairly common. \u201cIt can fool the test kit \u2013 there were cases that they found, the CT scan shows both lungs are fully infected but the test came back negative four times. The fifth test came back positive.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the BBC and other media outlets, some laboratory tests are incorrectly telling people they are virus-free. There is also anecdotal evidence of people having up to six negative results before being diagnosed correctly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
