Recoveries from a new coronavirus in the United States have surpassed 100,000 as companies and researchers race to find a proven treatment.

As of Monday morning, the U.S. had reported 965,933 cases of a new coronavirus that causes COVID-19, according to a tracker maintained by Johns Hopkins University. Out of those cases, officials reported 54,877 people died and 107,045 people recovered.

Health officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, believe antibodies show a person may have some immunity to the virus. The specifics of immunity people may have after recovering remains unknown, but officials are attempting to transfer immunity from those who have recovered to high-risk populations and healthcare workers through convalescent plasma.

A number of other drugs are being studied as a potential treatment for a new coronavirus, but as of Monday, health care workers are tasked with treating a patient's symptoms, not the virus itself.

1. No one knows what 'recovery ' is exactly.

People are testing positive 14 days after so-called recovery. It is thought they are infectious from 1-8 days after symptoms disappear.
No one even knows if they can be re-infected.

2. Exactly. We do not know what "recovery" means yet

It may be able to come back or certain mutations come back ...
We do not kn ow enough about it

Which is why it is so premature to be reopening states.

Science and medical doctors should be more involved in making that determination.
