Are Covid 19 survivors still contagious?

In doing a Google search all I found is that nobody is sure.

This is very important because we need people who are not infectious and not just immune.

Scientists need to study Covid survivors to check to see if they have immunity, and if so, how long it lasts. Only time will tell.

more than a month after symptoms have disappeared.

This is the antigen test... so the virus is still present.

Contagious? Possible.

No one knows jack shit about this disease. Yellow tape should be put around all large groups at beaches, protests, whatever then ship them off to quarantine for 2 weeks. They are as dangerous as those people on a cruise ship....at least they were contained and able to track.

In New Castle, Penna. The only thing that stopped it was "herd immunity" after it killed 600,000+. However we did lose several family members to TB (or Consumption).

I think my wife and I had this shit at the end of December but we can't be tested.
