What Happens AFTER You Beat Coronavirus? (Surprising)

The dangerous strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) is spreading around the country fast.
And seniors and folks with compromised immune systems are having a particularly hard time with it. Some are even dying.
I hope that you and the people you love are all safe from coronavirus.
But when you or someone you care about beats the disease, it can seem like a time to get together and celebrate.
That could be a big mistake.
Because this coronavirus has another nasty trick up its sleeve. And it can strike just when you think you’re out of the woods.
People with coronavirus can continue to infect other people, long AFTER they are supposedly cured.
This is very strange – very few infections remain infectious after people are treated.
Imagine: someone goes to the hospital with coronavirus, they have all the symptoms, they’re treated for weeks and eventually start to feel better.
Eventually, they are released. They head home and all their family members become infected.
How common is this?
Chinese officials have discovered that 14 percent of patients who have recovered still tested positive for the virus at later checkups.
This means people who were infected can work and travel and possibly spread disease as they go about their lives.
As of this writing, we don’t know how long this “post-infection contagion” lasts, but it’s better to be safe than sorry . You need to continue to be careful around people who had the virus.
What should you do to protect yourself?
You probably know the steps by now: wash your hands often – you can use hand sanitizer, but soap works just as well. In fact, it’s the physical action of rubbing your hands together that seems to be the most powerful way to remove the virus.
Keep your hands off your face and be extra cautious if you have a current disease such as heart disease or diabetes.
Make sure you take care of your immune system by taking supporting herbs (including oregano oil, elderberry, medical mushrooms, and vitamin C).
Also make sure you’re getting enough sleep and exercise.
