Parkchester, The Coronavirus Pandemic, and Being Aware of Possible Misinformation.

Misinformation is more rampant than ever in most modern societies (especially since the advent of the internet and the worldwide web.) And unfortunately this is so true regarding info circulating about the coronavirus pandemic.

Still, coming into what could actually be misinformation could be a good thing. That bit of information could actually serve as the jump-off to finding actual facts.

A true fact-finder might not disregard such information, but rather research it further. He or she will eventually come into information, such as a consensus amongst noted authorities on the topic, that validates or debunks such information.

I say all this because a March 12, 2020 article I saw on the NY Post website states something I don't know (at this time) to be 100% true but think is worth bringing to the attention of all in Parkchester concerned about the coronavirus pandemic.

That Article:

First paragraph states: "Scientists have discovered that coronavirus could linger in patients for more than a month, which means it’s possible they could transmit the virus long after symptoms subside."

Furthermore and this the more critical part in my opinion: "[These] findings... indicate that the current recommendation for isolation — two weeks — may not go far enough to prevent transmission of the virus."

If interested in knowing the actual facts regarding this specific aspect of the coronavirus you will look further into it.
