For some COVID-19 patients, the first symptom is not a cough, but a stroke

Scientists are learning more about the effects of COVID-19 on the body, and one of the more troubling and long-lasting concerns is a link to strokes.on Tuesday collected data on 160 stroke patients with COVID-19, 29 of whom were under the age of 50.

“They’re totally healthy people who develop COVID-19 and they've got strokes,” Dr. Luciano Sposato, one of the researchers from Western University, told CTV News. “That was quite surprising.”The study is an alert to doctors and patients that during this pandemic, sometimes a stroke is more than it appears.

COVID-19 patients are ten times more likely than influenza patients to suffer a stroke, and more than twice as likely as SARS patients, according to the study.In these cases, scientists think the virus enters some cells that line the blood vessels, triggering inflammation and potentially causing blood clots to form in the lungs, the legs or the heart.

In this study, the number of patients who developed large clots in the arteries that specifically supply blood to the brain was much higher than previous studies of ischemic stroke patients who did not have COVID-19, with 49 per cent developing large clots versus 29 per cent in patients without COVID-19.

Standard stroke treatment and blood thinners appear to help these patients. But fast medical attention is critical.

Ughh! Seems like they are trying to make everything & every symptom Covid19. This is really disturbing! What is the Agenda here with all this Fear Mongering of this Plandemic Control Power The Government works for us, The People. They forget that!

That really ups the fear porn ante-u guys r shameless!

Ummmm... yeah, that would make them a STROKE patient... 🙄

I sent this to my grandpa to make sure he is keeping up with the times. his response was nicEEEeeweeewew Asertllccleedsdsedeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 🥶. Can anyone decipher this he is not answering the phone

Is this another cheap report just to cause fear? A lot of people will argue!!!

Has the study considered the possibility that strokes occuring this year are related to accute stress due to restrictions? Also we're comparing 160 cases vs thousands maybe? Whats your statistical error margin due to the limited amount of data available?

'For some people, they have a stroke, and then we label it as COVID19 '

Painful truth. My daughter is an ER nurse. A young man, not even out of his teens yet, shows up in her ER. She knows immediately it is a stroke. After the stroke was successfully handled, his COVID test came back positive. He was asymptomatic until the stoke.

For some flu patients the first symptom is also a stroke, duh. Any more scare tactics tonight?

😳😬

Scary

notice how the media like CBC, CTV and global news never blame the communist china virus or communist china government for the harm they done to the world... cause these media are communist.

It’s just the flu bro sarcasm

When you stop production of society, it's only a small amount of time before insolvency of the gov't transpires, along with the rest of society and media goes bankrupt and off the air. You obviously have no history books in the newsroom.

The first symptom of your media company going under is destroying the economy over a fake pandemic with a virus that has a 99.98% survival rate, requiring a bailout from the government. Next, time the shutdown destroys the rest of the economy and the government and the media.

Stop pushing this crap

Here it is folks. As predicted, Sweden will not face any waves. And their death rate in LTCs is still lower than Canada's with the lockdown. And lower in general than other countries. Infection rate lower than Nordic neighbors.

Bullshit fear tactic!!!

Here we go again 😅 more fear mongering, narrative driving headlines. When will you stop with this crap

Here we join one of the researchers.

Fear peddlers! Even the picture they used was taken in the Czech Republic from early April!

Take any situation and focus on the worst,and you will find massive reaction of fear. Here’s a real reality. Coronavirus is causing 10,000 more children to die of hunger per month globally: UN

So if you have a stroke, it's COVID-19?

Or a heart attack, or a bullet wound, or falling off a balcony 🙄

Does it make you feel big to continue to strike fear into the general population?

Maybe it was a stroke.

Wow, thanks for the reassurance 😑

and car crashes, gunshots, cancer

OMG! WTH? AUFKM!!

Or is it they have a stroke and happen to be positive for Covid 🤷‍♀️

How many

So, as if getting it isn't bad enough, people disabled by COVID will have the joy of starving on ODSPoverty. Good job, Canada!

Lol. The magical virus that is no smirks or everything is a symptom. scam
