Nearly 20% of young, healthy coronavirus patients hadn't recovered after 2 to 3 weeks, the CDC found

Cheyenne Beyer's blood work comes back normal every time — she no longer has an active coronavirus infection. But she's had a low-grade fever since February and an elevated heart rate since April, when she first tested positive.

Beyer, a 27-year-old who lives in Austin, Texas, is one of many young patients who have been sick with COVID-19 for months. A new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published Friday found that even patients with mild symptoms may develop chronic illness related to the disease.

The CDC surveyed more than 270 symptomatic adults who tested positive for the virus between April 15 and June 25 but didn't need to be hospitalized. More than a third of those patients said they hadn't returned to their usual state of health two to three weeks after they were tested. Among young, previously healthy respondents — people ages 18 to 34 — the share of patients who hadn't recovered was nearly 20%.

"Nonhospitalized COVID-19 illness can result in prolonged illness and persistent symptoms, even in young adults and persons with no or few chronic underlying medical conditions," the CDC researchers wrote.

Beyer, of course, had no idea that was a possibility when she got diagnosed.

1. Yet they are all in to send kids to school. Most kids are only allowed to miss 9-10 days of

School due to illness and then they will be forced to repeat that grade.

No sense whatsoever

2. What part of "mutation" do they not understand?

Because of the foot-dragging about mass testing, the virus has had free reign to find alternatives to older and less medically vulnerable victims.

3. I'm guessing that at least part of this is that because they weren't sick enough to

be hospitalized, they didn't get any kind of actual treatment? Except possibly aspirin or its equivalent. So people are left with only their own immune system to get them better.
