Phew!
The bottom line analysis from the Korean CDC demonstrating that those testing positive for SARSCoV2 after recovering from covid WERE NOT infected or contagious. The positive hit on the subsequent PCR test was dead virus and could not replicate in viral cell culture.https://twitter.com/tmprowell/status/1263647206432702465 …
Korean CDC analysis of 285/447 (64%) who retested #SARSCoV2 positive post #COVID19
Viral cell culture (n=108): 0% pos
Contacts traced (n=790): only 3 ill, all w/ other exposures
These ppl are not re-infected or still contagious. It's old, dead virus.

@paul_r_thompson why would their situation be any different? As we have not had an update to a one off story, I imagine it was checked and shown to not be the case.

Why aren't genetic predispositions taken more seriously on this issue? Its almost as if there are forbidden ideas... oh wait.

Can you expand on this?

Are these people shedding defective virions that are packaging parts of the genome? Could some cells be producing lows amounts of virions that are no longer infectious? I can’t see that the RNA would still be around unless it was still being actively transcribed
-
Or could this be a reinfection but virus titers never get high enough because adaptive immune virus does a great job upon reinfection and never allows production of infectious particles
