@profvrr go off Vinny!! (p.s. have been following you for virus updates I can trust!! hope you all are doing well :))

@profvrr Promising (and not surprising), but has this been published in a peer-reviewed journal yet? If not, should we treat this news as likely but not yet proven? What does this mean for the CDC preferred protocol of 2 negative PCR tests 24 h apart before return to work?

@profvrr Thank you Vincent! Important stuff.

@profvrr an unclear aspect was whether it was only possible to get infected again or even get sick again

@profvrr That is some good news.

@profvrr Just read article on Italian newspaper reporting of people falling ill again with respiratory symptoms

@profvrr @aj_velthuis Pretty much every virologist has been saying this from the start. Unfortunately it will take a lot longer to convince the general public that these +ve tests aren’t reinfections. It doesn’t make as dramatic a headline!

@profvrr Same was my stance

@profvrr @mike_lustgarten Yea but the original reports were not referencing test results. People in hospitals seemingly recovered from it, and then were readmitted

@profvrr Timestamp: ~43:00 where there’s a discussion about 👉🏻 website. I thnk I had cvd19 2x. Got really sick early March. 2 separate leaves from wrk where evry1 was getting a nasty bug. US Census wrkr. Have weak immn. Chron ves ecz.

@profvrr Exactly.

@profvrr Make a viral culture in Vero Cells... Easy to answer

@profvrr Prob what they are finding in the air too. I really wonder what the value of RNA studies in the environment are for indications of viral exposure.

@profvrr @bactiman63 Yes,true👍

@profvrr New data: Electron Microscopy of viral particles deep in the lungs of a patient doctors thought had cleared the virus. This is a persistent virus. Not acute. ID docs in the USA have said this for weeks. This virus lingers in protected sites.

@profvrr 👍

@profvrr Residual, non-infectious defective interfering particles.
