Scientists are only starting to grasp the vast array of health problems caused by COVID-19, some of which may have lingering effects on patients and health systems for years to come, according to doctors and infectious disease experts

In addition to respiratory distress, patients with COVID-19 can experience blood clotting disorders that can lead to strokes, and extreme inflammation that attacks multiple organ systems. The virus can also cause neurological complications that range from headache, dizziness and loss of taste or smell to seizures and confusion.The broad and diverse manifestations of COVID-19 are somewhat unique, said Dr. Sadiya Khan, a cardiologist at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago.

“It can take up to seven days for every one day that you’re hospitalized to recover that type of strength,” Kahn said. “It’s harder the older you are, and you may never get back to the same level of function.” “We hear anecdotal reports of people who have persistent fatigue, shortness of breath,” Butler said. “How long that will last is hard to say.”

“If you previously ran 5k three times a week and now feel breathless after a single flight of stairs, or if you cough incessantly and are too exhausted to return to work, then the fear that you may never regain your previous health is very real,” she wrote.

Why wont all the Governors talk about this

We hear of positive tests and infections yet no one publishes the very low percentage that are in hospital. Scaring the public will only worsen the situation.

This was known about 6 plus weeks ago. Very concerning but hardly new news

The only disease that changes symptoms daily, but don't worry about it. The vaccine will be perfect.

We need the best possible response. For example, mandatory face covering that no one is exempt from.

We should all be wearing masks. Wearing a mask is a true sign of respect for others. IvankaTrump

About 70% of the people are inmune to Covid-19 because they have been exposed to other types of flu. The huge majority o patientes tha develop symptoms recover. People way over 60 and those with medical preconditions are the ones at risk. Stop the scare tactics.

Wow, what a way to scare people, Reuters news! Oh also, don’t forget to put on masks while having an intercourse with your partner according to so called experts. 😆😆😆 Can we talk about how to get rid of the damn 5G that r radiating the hell out of us?

Like the case of Bristish pilot in Vietnam

If findings of various research are believable then this Covid_19 seems to have unbelievably diverse power to take control of human body. Seems to be most lethal of its kind. Can natural virus be such lethal or only lab developed microbes? COVID19 ICMRDELHI CDCgov WHO UN

This is why Trump is so desperately trying to eliminate ACA without having a plan. This would cut into his weekend golf budget.

And this is what the so-called experts are telling the world after several months?

All lies

Pence said it was a good thing that the record numbers of new infections were happening to people under 35

We got sick of negative news ! Don’t you have some positive and cheerful ones !

Well then, now would be a good time to keep people insured. And BTW, who’s great idea was it to tie health care to employment? Poor people get shit policies and higher wage earners get the good stuff. VoteBlue ACA

You mean like, I dunno, old people in general do?

What's wrong with this picture?

So are Black People left out of this recovery equation?

しんじゃだめ

China Lied. People suffered and died.

yashar And I bet it can be spread not only by breathing it in and getting infected saliva or mucus in your eyes.

Boeufblogginon Absolute bullshit, why do white media catastrophise over maybe a few pple having other problems, it's tedious. .1% of the world got this damn virus and it's dying fast

codexeditor that's what viruses do, in general. but mostly, the manifestation is respiratory. that's why you end up connected to the ventilator. besides, during the course of the disease other things happen - maybe it's not the virus' fault that some things happen. it's just related to.

Flu can do this as well!

jigglynubbins This is why looking at mortality rates will never give the full picture. There is a strong possibility a percentage of survivors will be left with life-changing conditions

thomas_embleton If there is anything that the “Experts” have proven, it’s that they don’t understand a thing about COVID incompetence WHOLies COVIDIOTS ChinaLiedAndPeopleDied

radiobilingue My friend who tested positive for COVID-19 had diarrhea for 17 days. It was terrible. In her upper 40s.

EHijacked Yes. Labelling it a kind of flu maybe made people careless or complacent. Understand it goes for the blood.

nthusharon if it doesn’t look like a natural virus, act like a natural virus, feel like a natural virus, it ain‘t one 😂

realKunalAShah It's the bacteria that goes after organs, when immunity has been weakened by the virus. Antibiotics is the cure for Coronavirus

PreetiSMenon This is no ordinary virus This WAS MAN MADE. Bio engineered in a LAB. A Complete and silent Killer. GermWarfare

Time for tequila shots baby!

FVCK

JacklynnPortela No crap, it's a weapon

Sifill_LDF Wow!

Sounds like a spiritual disease. Sin and rebellion = death.

leapingfences Stay safe folks. Look out for the obvious signs of disease transmitters:

This virus can be cleared by simple vitamin C in right dosage, so as Hydroxy medicine.

Just the way China manufactured it.

veroem1985

This virus is a bomb to the immune system. It acts differently with each patient. If you survive it you will likely have permanent organ damage or a long term recovery. Good luck to those who are not taking it seriously.

yashar Do viruses have an intelligence or do they find the path of least resistance (weak areas) through the body?

Thanks to China

Just starting to terrify you

It's more insidious than it seems.

(Laughs in 99.6%+ survivability)

The Chinese have fucked the world.

nchan Is this a photo of a ghost?

While experimenting vaccine, doctors talk about blind testing. What about this? How did they conclude? Another BS!

yashar Thanks China.

It's odd that a coronavirus would act like this. It sounds more like Lyme's disease or a combination of diseases. Could it be that people have Covid in combination with something else, and that's why the disease is presenting with so many symptoms?...

reesetheone1 Complications like an autoimmune disease.

That research can be contested.The covid colonizes the lungs and suffocates the victim to dead. Other failed organs are due to lack of oxygen intake that makes them weakened and lowers the virus resistance. Any virus in blood stream can colonize those weakened organs.Victim dies.

Or, as Trumpkins call it: “Just another flu bug”.

Yes...that seems to be the case. Calling All Trump Zombies, guess what ! It's not a f***ing hoax you fools !!!

Which experts? The ones that were ok with riots or different ones?

And herd immunity people are really out there Trying to get sick

Just what we needed, news to scare us even more.

Good thing pre-existing conditions are covered by EVERYONE'S insurance as mandated by the Affordable Care Act. Can you imagine how devastating it would be if all that went away? Well, vote Republican in November and you can find out.

Be nice if there was some real solid information from all the treatments carried out, reinfection, transmission by children etc?

So.. when are we asking CHY-NA for reparations?!?

dougducey are you listening yet?

This is crazy and scary!!!

Seems like it might be Polio 2.0

This is bad...
