Time will tell whether it becomes latent like some of the other nasty viruses around.

I hope she's better in time. It is also the case that most recover with treatment; often even without treatment.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
The Queensland border has only been open a few days and already some Victorians have tried to sneek in.A group of people has been fined a total of more than $24,000 after lying on border declaration forms while trying to enter Queensland on Saturday.
Police said the six people had been trying to cross the border in a minivan and told officers they had been working in New South Wales for the past three weeks.
But evidence uncovered on their phones showed the group had in fact been in a coronavirus hotspot in Victoria in the past fortnight.
Each person was fined more than $4,000 and was directed to leave the state immediately.
Police said the group had made an earlier attempt to enter Queensland on July 2 but were turned back.
The driver of the minivan was from Queensland and one of the passengers was from New South Wales.
"Victorians cannot come to Queensland," Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said this morning.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
A 1,000-strong Australian Defence Force (ADF) contingent will be sent to Victoria to help with the state's coronavirus response.The deployed ADF members will assist with border checkpoints, testing and enforcing isolation.
The additional support builds on the 350 ADF members already assisting efforts to fight the virus in the state.

Anyway how about a few facts:
The Cochrane Instutute (our resident anti vaxxers favourite source) reported
In a sample of 1000 people where 200 people (20%) really have COVID-19, typical of workers in a hospital setting where COVID-19 patients have been treated:
193 people would receive a positive test result but 10 (5%) of those people would not have COVID-19 (known as a false positive result);
807 people would receive a negative test result but 17 (2%) of those people would have COVID-19 (known as false negative result).
So no 40% there
TV personalities are not qualified, and neither are you Bruce. They [and you] cherry pick the information and statistics (I know, so do I) but it just goes to show how much conflicting and incorrect information there is.
Yes it's serious, and anyone should have enough sense and knowledge now to know what they must do to stay safe. Checkout the ONS site, nobody died from flu or the usual winter illnesses this year. Don't you at least find that strange? And as for deaths in other countries? Quoting large mortality figures in say Brazil, the US of A or anywhere else, when you have nothing to compare it to; How many of us check the winter mortality figures every year? And since the Covid epidemic, every illness that occurs is now as a result of Covid.
My next door neighbour contracted some kind of flu virus back in 2010, after still experiencing muscle weakness several months later, the doctor explained that a virus can remain in the system for over six months. This probably explains the low recovery figures. There is no silver bullet to treat a virus, it has to take its course and there is nothing anyone can do to prevent that other than try and make the symptoms easier to live with.

Re: Chinese Coronavirus
Remember Yuppy Flu?These are some of the symptoms of ME which can become a problem at any time, and was present long before Covid.
The World Health Organisation’s International Classification of Disease currently lists ME as a disorder of the nervous system, under Post-Viral Fatigue Syndrome (Block 93.3, ICD 10th revision, 2007). The 11th Revision (operational from Jan 2022) lists both ME and chronic fatigue syndrome, under Post-viral Fatigue Syndrome (Block 8E49, ICD 11th revision, 2019).
The cardinal symptoms of ME, as described in some of the early literature (see historical aspects and classic papers), are profound, generalised post-exertional loss of muscle power (fatigability); muscle pain that may include tenderness and swelling; and neurological signs. Patients are also prone to relapses which may take the form of recurrences of the original systemic illness, or fresh episodes of muscle weakness, neurologic changes or well-defined cognitive problems. As with many chronic illnesses, fatigue may be present, but in ME patients the fatigue is reported to be post-exertional, often delayed, and quite unlike the ‘fatigue’ experienced by healthy people.
What is ME/CFS?
During the 1990s, the term Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) came into use – see chronic fatigue syndrome for a more detailed description, including various diagnostic classifications.
As there was (and presently remains) no specific diagnostic test for myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), and as post-exercise ‘fatigue’ was one of its prominent symptoms, people with ME began to be diagnosed with CFS. In recent years, however, there has been a growing recognition that the diagnosis CFS – based on a list of vague non-specific symptoms shared with other illnesses – is so broad that it can encompass a range of diverse patient groups. For this reason, there have been a number of attempts to devise a more sensitive way of diagnosing patients, including the Canadian Clinical working definition of ME/CFS (2003); and the ME: International Consensus Criteria (2011). In the United Kingdom, a clinical guideline for use by GPs was produced by NICE in 2007 (see below). Efforts to clarify diagnosis continue, however, and meanwhile the term ME/CFS is frequently used.
