Man Reveals He Tested Positive For Covid-19 For 78 Days In A Row
A man has revealed that he tested positive for Covid-19 for 78 days straight and has been in his home, quarantining for 14 months.
Muzaffer Kayasan says he tested positive for coronavirus in November 2020. Despite him having to deal with leukemia, the 56-year-old said he didn’t have serious symptoms with the virus and was released from the hospital soon after the infection.

He said that at first he believed he was just a carrier of the disease, but he has now discovered that is “not the case”. “I think I am more exposed to the virus”, he said. “Even a cat passing by the window can infect me,” he teased. “I was recovered, but I still have the remnants of COVID-19 in my body. This is the only explanation I was given for the positive tests,” he added.
“I have no problem here other than being unable to touch my loved ones.
“It is very hard. I can’t even get vaccinated because of my condition.”
A study at the lab of Whitehead Institute Member showed that genetic progressions from coronavirus can combine into the host cells (the human) in a procedure which is known as reverse transcription.
This means that there is still an infection in the body that can continue to be picked up by tests.
Author of the study Liguo Zhang explained: “SARS-CoV-2 is not a retrovirus, which means it doesn’t need reverse transcription for its replication.
“However, non-retroviral RNA virus sequences have been detected in the genomes of many vertebrate species, including humans.”
