The long-term effects of COVID-19, even on people who suffered a mild infection, could be far worse than was originally anticipated, according to researchers and doctors in northern Italy.
The warnings come amid growing concerns in northern Italy that a second wave of the virus could be imminent. Doctors in two of the main hospitals in the region have reported a handful of new cases of severely ill people with respiratory problems.Dr Roberto Cosentini, head of emergencies at Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital in Bergamo, oversaw the response to the virus that swept through this alpine province claiming the lives of at least 6,000 people.
One of the few positives emerging from the pandemic that caused havoc to the health service here was the creation of a unique environment where doctors and experts in different fields found themselves working together for months, effectively learning new skills. That cooperation is helping the understanding of the virus.
Researchers identified serious neurological complications arising from COVID-19 including delirium, brain inflammation, stroke and nerve damage in 43 people aged 16 to 85.
I recently read about autopsy reports and scans and it showed that blood clots were the issue. Getting in the lungs affecting breathing, stroke, thrombosis, heart attack etc. That made a lot of sense. But I am just carrying on, taking care of myself and my friends and family.
short film about someone's journey with M.E./C.F.S. Post Viral Malaise been around for decades, 250,000 sufferers in the UK. Many disabled, many cant leave the house. UK government underfunded research into it for decades.
I'm not doubting the physical but some of the causes of symptoms like this may be psychological. PTSD will be common in survivors and the psychosis, insomnia and chronic tiredness could be a result. We need to be looking for and treating long term physical and mental illness.
“Don’t get infected” great plan doc
Ten years on, I'm still suffering a post-viral condition following moderate Swine Flu. The symptoms have improved over time but still include a mild type of asthma, fatigue, bursts of adrenaline & a number of neurological symptoms like paraesthesias & narcolepsy.
“43 people aged 16 to 85”. Hey maybe we should wait for some more conclusive evidence before saying that an entire generation of workers might be less productive as a result of Covid-19.
The glooming uncertainty of raw seriousness of the problem remains a huge challenge of our Morden society.
The reality of a new novel virus. Who'd have thought 😬😷
We’re killing ourselves and still trying to continue like we’ve not lost the battle to Covid in Britain. Until track and track is running properly, and we focus on the safety of our people we will continue to kill hundreds needlessly
Just stop with the constant fear-mongering. The media is the biggest evil on the planet, next to governments.
Seasonal Flu as Side-effects as well.
Hiding statistics until after!
Lots of covid survivors complain of chronic fatigue
