Cheating death: China’s Wuhan coronavirus survivors recall ordeal

Al Jazeera  

Amid reports of infections nearing 75,000 the number of survivors is also growing with more than 14,000 reported. “No RNA test kits were available at the beginning and after almost a week, I finally got the test and received a positive result, then the hospital said I needed two consecutive positive results to be admitted!” “I don’t know what to do! “My body temperature had been fluctuating pretty frequently, so one morning I’d get 38.5, the next day 37.2, and then the third day 39.1 – I couldn’t take my mind off this.” Recovering alone During his 14 days at home, he would go to Wuhan Hankou Hospital for injections every day before the doctor told him to stop going – he had beaten the virus. “But my doctor told me that since I no longer have symptoms and have tested negative for my virus RNA test, I can go home and let my own immune system fight off the infection.” A number of people who had recovered told Al Jazeera that doctors in Hubei would routinely turn those who only displayed mild signs of the disease away. In response to Al Jazeera’s query about the handling of outpatients, a doctor at the Wuhan Red Cross Hospital said in order for patients with a residual lung infection to get a clean bill of health, they must meet two criteria: they should not have any symptoms, including fever or cough and should pass the coronavirus test twice.
