RE:160 Recovered Patients Test Positive AgainYes indeed. One can imagine that if the antibodies that remain in people who have developed immunity against COVID-19 only last a few months, as is the case with the more common human coronaviruses, then
widespread and repeated antibody testing may be required in order to limit the risk of repeated COVID-19 outbreaks in our workplaces.
If we want to keep the economy going once it has been gradually ramped up again, then I would think that this could bode well for companies who can provide
reliable serology testing to the masses.
Any company that can also offer reliable "proprietary molecular diagnostic tests for early detection of diseases and personalized health management, with a primary focus on cancer-related indications", leveraging the same convenient Telehealth platform, should be rather well positioned for significant growth.
The next NR should be interesting!

And to sort things out, no doubt it's gonna take tests. Lots of tests.
More than 160 South Koreans have tested positive a second time for the coronavirus, a development that suggests the disease may have a longer shelf life than expected.
