news Covid19-Coronavirus updates and news

Mister Funsky · Feb 22, 2020

Having relatives and friends scattered all over the globe, I am getting an overload of input (some on the record and some off the record).

My intention for this thread is for community members from around the world to post first hand stories and/or links to information sources that, for the most part, should be reliable.

In my community, just outside a major southeastern city, 'assets' have been placed. Only because I have friends in both high and low places have I heard about some of this. At this point it is only some basic medical supplies that should be equally distributed anyway in preparation for a natural emergency (hurricane/wildfire/etc.).

I will start with posting a link to a site with current data that seems to come from an aggregate of sources and hope others will do the same as they come across similar sites/pages.

Because of the 'typhoid Mary' spread-ability of this disease, I feel we may be in for a really large spread globally which will impact the global economy and through extension, retail domain prices.

One thing is for sure...things will get worse before they get better.

It still mystifies me how people can delude themselves about the virus. The people I work with are the same way, even though five people in the building have been sick from it.

Oh waah, people get the flu and colds all the time.

TOTAL MORTALITY IS NOT ELEVATED!

DEATHS BEING RELABELED

And I concur - it mystifies me how people believe the PROGRAMMING about viruses and regurgitate the Project Mockingbird narratives. . . IMHO

COVID-19 (coronavirus): Long-term effects

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases...th/coronavirus-long-term-effects/art-20490351

COVID-19 symptoms can sometimes persist for months. The virus can damage the lungs, heart and brain, which increases the risk of long-term health problems.

COVID-19 (coronavirus): Long-term effects
COVID-19 symptoms can sometimes persist for months. The virus can damage the lungs, heart and brain, which increases the risk of long-term health problems.

By Mayo Clinic Staff

Most people who have coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) recover completely within a few weeks. But some people — even those who had mild versions of the disease — continue to experience symptoms after their initial recovery.

These people sometimes describe themselves as "long haulers" and the condition has been called post-COVID-19 syndrome or "long COVID-19."

Organ damage caused by COVID-19

Although COVID-19 is seen as a disease that primarily affects the lungs, it can damage many other organs as well. This organ damage may increase the risk of long-term health problems. Organs that may be affected by COVID-19 include:

Heart. Imaging tests taken months after recovery from COVID-19 have shown lasting damage to the heart muscle, even in people who experienced only mild COVID-19 symptoms. This may increase the risk of heart failure or other heart complications in the future.
Lungs. The type of pneumonia often associated with COVID-19 can cause long-standing damage to the tiny air sacs (alveoli) in the lungs. The resulting scar tissue can lead to long-term breathing problems.
Brain. Even in young people, COVID-19 can cause strokes, seizures and Guillain-Barre syndrome — a condition that causes temporary paralysis. COVID-19 may also increase the risk of developing Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease.

Blood clots and blood vessel problems

COVID-19 can make blood cells more likely to clump up and form clots. While large clots can cause heart attacks and strokes, much of the heart damage caused by COVID-19 is believed to stem from very small clots that block tiny blood vessels (capillaries) in the heart muscle.

Other parts of the body affected by blood clots include the lungs, legs, liver and kidneys. COVID-19 can also weaken blood vessels and cause them to leak, which contributes to potentially long-lasting problems with the liver and kidneys.

Problems with mood and fatigue

People who have severe symptoms of COVID-19 often have to be treated in a hospital's intensive care unit, with mechanical assistance such as ventilators to breathe. Simply surviving this experience can make a person more likely to later develop post-traumatic stress syndrome, depression and anxiety.

Because it's difficult to predict long-term outcomes from the new COVID-19 virus, scientists are looking at the long-term effects seen in related viruses, such as the virus that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).

Many people who have recovered from SARS have gone on to develop chronic fatigue syndrome, a complex disorder characterized by extreme fatigue that worsens with physical or mental activity, but doesn't improve with rest. The same may be true for people who have had COVID-19.

Many long-term COVID-19 effects still unknown

Much is still unknown about how COVID-19 will affect people over time. However, researchers recommend that doctors closely monitor people who have had COVID-19 to see how their organs are functioning after recovery.

Many large medical centers are opening specialized clinics to provide care for people who have persistent symptoms or related illnesses after they recover from COVID-19.

Thanks for the info. In our other discussion you said, "there's a high percentage of people, young people, that after having a mild infection are suffering from permanently brain, heart, kidneys and other organ damage."

Where is the part that refers to that?

A survey in the U.S. found 35% of patients who weren’t hospitalized had not returned to normal health as long as three weeks after testing positive. Among 18-to-34-year-olds with no chronic medical conditions, the figure was 19%.

I already posted a clinical study here some months ago, I think it was from South Korea or Japan, where they found a high percentage (do not remember now the number, but it was quite worrying) of people with heart damage and other organs like brain damage, between young people recovered from a mild covid-19 disease.
Anyway, even a 10%-20% of recovered people from mild covid-19 disease suffering this kind of organ damage would be a quite high and worrying percentage, in my opinion.

koolishman · Jan 15, 2021

In addition to causing pneumonia, Covid-19 is known to affect the kidneys, heart, blood vessels and other tissues. Lab tests showed that 13% of patients whose kidneys appeared healthy during their hospital stays had reduced function in the follow-up examination.

The lasting misery of coronavirus long-haulers

Months after infection with SARS-CoV-2, some people are still battling crushing fatigue, lung damage and other symptoms of ‘long COVID’.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02598-6

"Because most infected people do not end up in hospital, Gholamrezanezhad says the overall rate of such intermediate-term lung damage is likely to be much lower — his best guess is that it is less than 10%. Nevertheless, given that 28.2 million people are known to have been infected so far, and that the lungs are just one of the places that clinicians have detected damage, even that low percentage implies that hundreds of thousands of people are experiencing lasting health consequences."

-------------------

The many strange long-term symptoms of Covid-19, explained

Long Covid “is a phenomenon that is really quite real and quite extensive,” Anthony Fauci said.

https://www.vox.com/22166236/long-term-side-effects-covid-19-symptoms-heart-fatigue

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently created a list of some of the persistent symptoms patients are experiencing, which include chest pain, brain fog, fatigue, and hair loss — with patients reporting many others as well."

"...preliminary research suggests that somewhere between 10 percent and 88 percent of Covid-19 patients will experience at least one symptom for many weeks or months. Some of these can be life-altering; one study found that 50 percent of non-ICU patients reported a significant change to their cognitive functioning."

"Even if the prevalence ends up being on the lower end of the 10 to 88 percent range, the sheer volume of people getting sick means there are already millions of Americans who have, and will soon have, long Covid."

I'm thinking they might want to make people more aware of covid damage/damage #s as much as they do death #s, especially among the ones who don't think they'll die from it because of eg their age.

Yeah, none of this actually says that a high percentage of people are experiencing serious long-term impacts. They say a large percentage of people have some lasting symptoms. They also say that some of those symptoms are serious. You're twisting things around.

Buddy, I really posted the articles so you can learn about the long term impacts on people's health after having a mild covid-19. Instead of a thanks, you seem to struggle reading the articles.

"Some of these can be life-altering; one study found that 50 percent of non-ICU patients reported a significant change to their cognitive functioning."

Do you think the above quote is just about a sore throat or normal headache?

*Tip: Brain fog means that the virus has affected your brain.
Shortness of breath, chest pain and extreme tireness, it has affected your heart and lungs, yes, after mild covid-19 infection.

Now tell me that 10% of people suffering these symptoms after just passsing a mild covid-19 infection are nothing in your opinion.

You can see that up to 10% of the total of people getting infected by covid-19 develop some of these symptoms, and that's millions of people, but you still seem to "twist" your mind just to feel "safer" about getting covid-19.

Long-term effects of coronavirus (long COVID)

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/long-term-effects-of-coronavirus-long-covid/

Symptoms of long COVID

There are lots of symptoms you can have after a coronavirus infection.

Common long COVID symptoms include:

- extreme tiredness (fatigue)
- shortness of breath
- chest pain or tightness
- problems with memory and concentration ("brain fog")
- difficulty sleeping (insomnia)
- heart palpitations
- dizziness
- pins and needles
- joint pain
- depression and anxiety
- tinnitus, earaches
- feeling sick, diarrhoea, stomach aches, loss of appetite
- a high temperature, cough, headaches, sore throat, changes to sense of smell or taste
- rashes

For some people, coronavirus (COVID-19) can cause symptoms that last weeks or months after the infection has gone. This is sometimes called post-COVID-19 syndrome or "long COVID"

"A Temple University student says she experienced a life-threatening heart condition weeks after recovering from a mild case of Covid-19.
In a Facebook post from Dec. 8, Madeline Neville writes that she returned to her family home for the Thanksgiving holiday after being diagnosed with Covid-19 in late October.

"I was feeling completely normal and was able to put my COVID experience behind me," Neville wrote. "After all, I am a twenty year old girl in good health. I am the subset of the population that is supposed to be best equipped to able to handle COVID."

"I experienced such intense chest pain, shortness of breath, and a slew of other horrible symptoms that came on suddenly and as a complete surprise," she wrote.

In her post, Neville said that she was eventually airlifted to a Philadelphia hospital where she was diagnosed with congestive heart failure.

"I have been hospitalized for the past nine days, where I struggled everyday to do even the most menial tasks like going to the bathroom and showering on my own, brushing my own teeth and hair, or even walking 10 steps," she wrote.

You're saying "permanent" (not several weeks/months) and "high percentage" in your quote above.

Stop scaring yourself and really take the information for what it is. It's good information, you're just misinterpreting it. Either that or you were intentionally exaggerating in your quote above.

COVID-19 reduced U.S. life expectancy, especially among Black and Latino populations

The COVID-19 pandemic, which claimed more than 336,000 lives in the United States in 2020, has significantly affected life expectancy, USC and Princeton researchers have found.

The researchers project that, due to the pandemic deaths last year, life expectancy at birth for Americans will shorten by 1.13 years to 77.48 years, according to their study published Thursday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

That is the largest single-year decline in life expectancy in at least 40 years and is the lowest life expectancy estimated since 2003.

The declines in life expectancy are likely even starker among Black and Latino communities. For Blacks, the researchers project their life expectancy would shorten by 2.10 years to 72.78 years, and for Latinos, by 3.05 years to 78.77 years.

Whites are also impacted, but their projected decline is much smaller — 0.68 years — to a life expectancy of 77.84 years.

Monoclonal antibodies could ease record Covid hospitalizations. Why are they going unused?

https://www.nbcnews.com/health/heal...-covid-hospitalizations-why-are-they-n1254271

"A drug that could protect high-risk Covid-19 patients from developing severe illness is sitting on shelves unused as a record number of people are hospitalized in the U.S.

Thursday, public health officials at the federal and state levels plead with the country to take advantage of its vast supply of monoclonal antibody treatments, the only available therapy that can potentially keep patients out of the hospital.

Monoclonal antibodies are lab-made drugs meant to mimic natural antibodies to SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes Covid-19. They're recommended for people who are at high risk of getting very sick from the virus, including anyone over age 65 and people with underlying health conditions.

New Jersey's state epidemiologist, Dr. Eddy Bresnitz, said monoclonal antibodies may have played a role in a recent leveling off of the state's Covid-19 hospitalizations. "It's worth the effort to get it," Bresnitz said during a media briefing Thursday.

So why aren't people getting it?

Simply put, a lack of time, resources and awareness."

Predominant Role of Bacterial Pneumonia as a Cause of Death in Pandemic Influenza: Implications for Pandemic Influenza Preparedness

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2599911/

Background
Despite the availability of published data on 4 pandemics that have occurred over the past 120 years, there is little modern information on the causes of death associated with influenza pandemics.

Methods
We examined relevant information from the most recent influenza pandemic that occurred during the era prior to the use of antibiotics, the 1918–1919 “Spanish flu” pandemic. We examined lung tissue sections obtained during 58 autopsies and reviewed pathologic and bacteriologic data from 109 published autopsy series that described 8398 individual autopsy investigations.

Results
The postmortem samples we examined from people who died of influenza during 1918–1919 uniformly exhibited severe changes indicative of bacterial pneumonia. Bacteriologic and histopathologic results from published autopsy series clearly and consistently implicated secondary bacterial pneumonia caused by common upper respiratory–tract bacteria in most influenza fatalities.

Conclusions
The majority of deaths in the 1918–1919 influenza pandemic likely resulted directly from secondary bacterial pneumonia caused by common upper respiratory–tract bacteria. Less substantial data from the subsequent 1957 and 1968 pandemics are consistent with these findings. If severe pandemic influenza is largely a problem of viral-bacterial copathogenesis, pandemic planning needs to go beyond addressing the viral cause alone (e.g., influenza vaccines and antiviral drugs). Prevention, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment of secondary bacterial pneumonia, as well as stockpiling of antibiotics and bacterial vaccines, should also be high priorities for pandemic planning.

Watch out for even the littlest ones. I was talking this morning with someone who's distantly related to the mom in this story:

Sask. mom says 2-year-old's battle with COVID-19 was terrifying

As a side note, the person I was talking to is a pharmacist in a hospital, and is working around covid patients. She says she has no problems with getting a covid shot, and especially after seeing how bad some cases can get. And she doesn't want to risk passing it on to others, including her own kids.

Yeah, make sure you don't suffocate their faces with masks and give them bacteria infections and kill them.

With more covid spread, increased contagious covid mutations, maybe time to step up mask quality, if possible:

I did a bit of looking around to see what current mask recommendations might be. Looks like the 3 layer blue surgical masks we've been using have been testing well, when compared to other popular alternatives. A comparison chart:

Since we have a couple boxes of the masks, it allows me to rotate the masks I'm using, to better allow anything picked up on the masks to die off before using a mask again.
