Not much research has been done into people who recover from coronavirus. Here's why it's important
Most people with Covid-19 have mild illness and are able to recover at home without medical care, while severe cases often receive supportive care in the hospital, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Data from China shows the majority of people with Covid-19 only suffer mild symptoms, then recover Although there have been regional, national and global data on confirmed cases and deaths, not much has been reported on recovery.
"Recovered cases outside China are country-level estimates based on local media reports and may be substantially lower than the true number," Donovan said. As for US cases,"the dashboard is not reporting estimates for state and county recoveries in the United States. That may change as more uniform reporting for recoveries expands among local and state governments," he said."Currently there is no uniform method for reporting recoveries across the United States.
Overall, Rush University Medical Center's Hota, who was not involved in either study, has cautioned against thinking someone who tests positive for the virus is also infectious.The CDC notes that Covid-19 is thought to spread mainly through close contact between people in respiratory droplets, such as droplets that come from coughs or sneezes. While people who are infected often have symptoms of illness, the CDC warns that some people without symptoms also may be able to spread the virus.
