More info in the quagmire of stuff being broadcast and published:
March 27, 2020─ In a new study, researchers found that half of the patients they treated for mild COVID-19 infection still had coronavirus for up to eight days after symptoms disappeared. The research letter was published online in the American Thoracic Society’s American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
That's an interesting piece of information.
Thanks O2trees Will read it through again to take it all in.

i think they have discovered traces in people up to 10 days post virus so i reckon a minimum of 14 days before exposing yourself to others would be prudent?
Very interesting Jean. Thank you. Xxxx😘
The virus that keeps on giving...just what we don't need.
The lockdown came too early to enable herd immunisation and too late for prevention.
This is a real dog's dinner!
Quite!
And speaking of herd immunity, did you see the wild goats take over Llandudno yesterday?!
Missed that one. 😂
I'll try and find it to post.
Obliged. 😁
Hello, I'm here in US-Connecticut and 45 minutes from NYC. Yes, 14 days is absolute minimum. Herd immunity is way too dangerous as a policy with COVID 19. Early action and then complete lock down is the only chance to slow (not prevent) just slow this down enough so as not to overwhelm hospitals. The US is predicting 150-200K deaths by the end of May. We're terrified. I've been home since March 11 and we've been told not to even think about returning to daily activities until the end of April (though some say the end of May.)
May or June seems more realistic., at which point mass or herd immunisation may again be on the table.
Thought this all along. 7 days doesn’t seem long enough to be all clear, in fact l don’t think that advice is given everywhere. Better to be safe than sorry!
