MUST READ! COVID-19 Questions: Can The SARS-COV-2 Coronavirus Remain Dormant or Conceal Itself In the Human Host Body?

COVID-19 Questions: A question that has been circulating since March to now is whether or not the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus could remain dormant in the human body or even conceal itself just like in the case of the HIV virus.
Before the question is even attempted to be answered, one has to look into what actually constitutes a recovery in the case of the COVID-19 disease.
According to the US CDC, in order for a person to be considered recovered, they must be fever-free without the aid of fever-reducing medications for three consecutive days and they need to show an improvement in their other symptoms, such as coughing and shortness of breath.
In addition, a person must test negative for the coronavirus twice in tests taken at least 24 hours apart. That’s the official standard for a person to be considered among the totally “recovered.”
Now comes in the key issue, almost all of the current COVID-19 RT-PCR or NAT PCR tests do not have an absolute degree of accuracy and almost all have a limit of detection of about 90 copies of Viral RNA per millimeter (ie they cannot detect less than 90 copies of viral RNA per millimeter of specimen).

So that it implies that a recovered person could still have the SARS-CoV-2 in their bodies but many medical experts argue that that will not be the case in a recovered person as they claim that the person’s immunity system would have cleared all the remaining viruses or the meds would have done so. However we do not have solid proof that this is the case as already we know that the immunity system is not that fool proof (As even the case of HIV where they are reservoirs of dormant or semi-active virus) and also to date we do not have any real effective proven antiviral meds against the SARS-CoV-2. Furthermore in millions of people who initially had only mild to moderate system and never even had any antivirals given to them and most were never even tested the second time or third time rounds to see if they truly had recovered, there is no clear indication that the virus has totally ever been eradicated from the body.
Also, it is only when so called ‘recovered’ patients starts manifesting the basic symptoms such as fevers, coughs or sore throats again that doctors suspect and might order the COVID-19 tests.
Hundreds of such incidences have occurred in China, Korea, Italy, America, Spain and most of the time the healthcare professionals would claim that the patients did not either properly recover the first time round or that if the test were positive, they would claim that the remnants of the ‘dead’ virus were still in the body and that for some it might take some time for the body to clear it.
However many patients experiencing gastrointestinal incidences, strokes and clotting issues, chronic fatigue syndrome, hearing issues, neurological incidences a
re mostly never tested again for the COVID-19.
With official numbers of people who have been affected worldwide standing at about 18 million and the reality is that the actual numbers could be ten to even 20 fold if we were to also consider the asymptomatic cases and also where testing is not done in many countries, we are seeing a frightening scenario as while we are dealing with the COVID-19 attacks and spreads, we have yet to even focus properly on the growing long-term health implications of the COVID-19 disease especially what long term exposure to the dormant or concealed viruses could do to our bodies.
It is already a well-known fact that most viruses even the common influenza virus or even herpes if they were to remain in the human bodies for long times but at low viral loads and do not cause the main symptoms often seen in the infections, they still cause low level inflammation in the body which over time can lead to a variety of chronic conditions including cancer and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer, Dementia etc.
Besides the novel coronavirus is now known to be able to get to various parts of the human host body and affect organs where the ACE-2 receptors are found, which is literally in many organs and tissues. We also now know that the SARS-CoV02 coronavirus does not only bind to the ACE-2 receptors but also to other receptors with at least 4 other candidates recently being identified including the Nicotine Acetycholine receptors.

We are now getting reports from all the world of so called ‘recovered COVID-19’ who are exhibiting various neurological disorders, chronic fatigues syndrome, hearing losses, developing diabetes due to pancreatic damages, developing strokes, heart issues, kidney damage….the list goes on. In certain countries, ignorant doctors do not even identify these occurrences as anything to do with the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus!
Now, if the coronavirus is not able to remain dormant or even conceal itself in the human host body after so called “recovery’, what is causing these new occurrences. It cannot be just due to the damages that occurred while the patient was infected initially with the virus and was exhibiting symptoms. Before he or she was “cured” or recovered.
We expect to see an exponential rise in various medical conditions the next few months due to the long term effects of the SARS-COV-2 coronavirus and we hope that the medical community and researchers can give us a real answers to the question..Can the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus remain dormant in the body or conceal itself while still causing gradual damage to the human host body?
It seems more apparent day by day that the whole COVID-19 crisis has been approached and managed the wrong way as certain medical researchers and experts with power to influence are approaching the pandemic the wrong way and downplaying on the seriousness of the virus and the disease for whatever reasons.
We are in reality dealing with a pandemic in which the pathogen concerned can be best described as an air-borne, water borne, (

Let us have the medical experts denounce this statement scientifically.
