In particular, if we have serological tests we can find out who has had the disease with no symptoms or mild symptoms.
Anyone who has had the disease and recovered can afterward go about their life again, as they cannot (for at least a few months, if not longer) be reinfected or spread the disease.
- chanchar 7y agoHave there been any studies on if the virus can mutate?
- selectodude 7y agoIt mutated its way from affecting bats to affecting people. Fortunately, the vast, vast majority of mutations either do nothing or make things actively worse. https://qbrc.swmed.edu/projects/2019ncov_immuneviewer/ https://qbrc.swmed.edu/projects/2019ncov_immuneviewer/ That's the chain of mutations for SARS-Cov-2 they've seen so far.
- Animats 7y agoRight. Unless you can get this twice in a short period, someone who tests negative for the virus and positive for the antibodies on an ELIZA-type test has had the disease and is over it, even if they never knew they had it. Once testing for that is going, those people get a green card with a QR code and can move around freely. China is doing that.[1] [1] https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-02-20/China-leverages-technology-in-its-fight-against-COVID-19-OeTjYhRz5m/index.html https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-02-20/China-leverages-techno...
