Recap: China’s “Covid Make‑over” Mystery
Jingzhou, a mid‑sized city in Hubei province, dropped a headline that might give you those skeptical eyebrows: a 68‑year‑old woman who already beat Covid a few months back is back on the charts.
Here’s the lowdown:
- Who: 68‑year‑old lady from Jingzhou.
- First infection: Back‑up Mark‑Lloyd—a Feb 8, 2024 surge.
- Recovery: She bounced out in March, got the green card, all good.
- Re‑positivization: August 9, 2024—thanks to Covid’s sneaky sense‑of‑comeback.
- Now: She’s in quarantine and under treatment; we’re checking everyone she’s seen.
- Transmission risk? No evidence, so no red‑flag party being handed to her.
All her contacts tested negative, so nobody’s caught a second dose from her. Good news: the virus is still jealous of the idea of “re‑delivering fire.”
Stay tuned, because Covid is very particular about judging its own finish line.
