40% of coronavirus patients have this symptom for weeks
If you have experienced a persistent cough, it turns out that you are not alone.
We classify cases of coronaviruses as one of three categories - a mild, moderate or severe and severe value, these designations may seem quite simple. However, according to a new study at the Emory University School of Medicine, which has not yet been examined by peers, many patients withMilder case of coronavirus haveExperienced sustainable symptoms. Although these patients can avoid the hospital and other serious medical interventions, more than 40% reported a persistent coronavirus symptom three weeks after their sick grave: they still had alwaysa persistent cough.
In addition to this discovery, the study revealed that other symptoms persisted a lesser extent after three weeks of illness. Among 272 positive participants with virus, 24% had troubleshortness of breath During the physical effort, 23% had not seen the return of their sense of smell and taste, and an additional 23% still lived sinus congestion. While the majority of known coronavirus patients tend to recover within 14 days, these new data indicate that for some, there may beNo easy resolution to the disease-And no clear calendar for recovery.
This comes as a disturbing new doctors and researchers, who are now struggling with the open nature of the virus, andSearch for answers. An article in this weekWashington Post highlights several cases that could currently beclassified as medical mysteries: Accounts of people who endured their diseases up to 90 days, without explanation or end in sight.
As the authors of the article Note ", post-viral syndromes have been associated with many viruses in the past, but to the pandemic, they were considered relatively rare."TheWashington PostExplains further that researchers are unclear about whether prolonged coronavirus symptoms indicate long-tail recovery, or if they reflect whether they reflect a cyclical recurrence of the disease itself, always flourishing in the body . Unfortunately, this last theory preceded: three quarters of the crates ofMyalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome (Me / CFS) are the result of viral or bacterial infection. It is possible that for some,Coronavirus could pose a threat throughout life.

The EMORY study highlights a surprising conclusion more: it is likely that we would put in quarantine at least 40% of coronavirus patients too short. The health authorities recommend isolating for 14 days after the first symptoms, but this recommendation is based on the notion that the symptoms last roughly this long. In the light of this study, it seems that 14 days are treated as the strict minimum, with an insulation of several days beyond the recovery of each individual, be it weeks or months. And as the cases begin to skyrocket around the country, discover if you live in one of the6 states that lack hospital beds.
