Covid-19 infections leave an impact on the heart, raising concerns about lasting damage

[ding]

THIS isn't good news at all. So much for the argument of go ahead and get it over with.

A recent study examined the cardiac MRIs of 100 people who had recovered from Covid-19 and compared them to heart images from 100 people who were similar but not infected with the virus. Their average age was 49 and two-thirds of the patients had recovered at home. 78 of the 100 patients showed structural changes to their hearts, 76 of the 100 had evidence of a biomarker signaling cardiac injury typically found after a heart attack, and 60 of the 100 had signs of inflammation.

Covid-19 infections leave an impact on the heart, raising concerns about lasting damage

It is too soon to say if the heart damage in patients recovering from Covid-19 is transient or permanent, but cardiologists are worried.

You whiners are such weaklings, either get with dying or get on with your life, regardless of which, get on and stop whining about how afraid you fucking are...

Yes I read about this, very concerning. This cold virus has symptoms like no other and behaves like no other cold virus I can recall. It makes me believe China engineered the virus to be a weapon and then accidentally released it in their own country. Once the cat was out of the bag, they protected their own country and then purposely let it spread throughout the world.

Marc Pfeffer, a cardiologist at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, called both the autopsy and MRI studies a sobering warning.

Oh no! A hundred people who's systems were weak enough to catch the virus had after effects! Quick! Everybody run to your homes. Lock the door! Don a mask!

Tomey sees signs of weakness in patients who had Covid-19 in March or April, when the disease was surging in New York.

“Patients come to my office saying, ‘Hey, I’m a 31-year-old who used to run and be completely unlimited in my exercise, and now I get palpitations walking across the street. Or I get out of breath climbing up to my second-floor apartment,’” he said.

Actually I think what this is saying is that if your calculus was based on 98% survival rate, you might want to re-think your math because even though you survive you might have knocked off 10 to 15 years of your life.

But hey, anyone who wants to ignore this, please be my guest. The Darwin awards are two rooms to the left.

One has to wonder. How many people who survived say, the Swine flu, also had awful after affects? Let's explore some of those statistics before we declare covid the killer of even dedicated joggers!

Yes. Weakness begets illness. Clearly, I am in denial.

I've read that people with this strain of flu also lose their sense of smell for a while-

Why? I don't have to. I'm perfectly happy with how things are. I am perfectly happy with you throwing caution to the wind. I on the other hand will manage my risk accordingly.
