COVID-19 (coronavirus): Long-term effects

Unread post by evs »

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.

Older people and people with many serious medical conditions are the most likely to experience lingering COVID-19 symptoms. The most common signs and symptoms that linger over time include:

Fatigue
Cough
Shortness of breath
Headache
Joint pain
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.

Organ damage caused by COVID-19

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 organs affected by blood clots include the lungs, legs, liver and kidneys. COVID-19 can also weaken blood vessels, 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 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.

It's important to remember that most people who have COVID-19 recover quickly. But the potentially long-lasting problems from COVID-19 make it even more important to reduce the spread of the disease by following precautions such as wearing masks, avoiding crowds and keeping hands clean.
Let’s wash our hands and keep the distance, peeps:(

Aww...hope she makes a clean recovery. I know a few people who have had it, and a few who have died from it. None of them are pretty stories. =(

He recovered, but felt like it's still there. I only talked to him about it once so I'm not updated about how he feels now.

long term effects? lol.... what about the crashed economy? the suicide rate thats tripled? the ppl who had to postpone life-saving surgery and cancer treatments and have subsequently died? lets not even mention the rise in alcoholism and drug addiction.... or the deaths from overdose.... and lets try to forget the extreme spike in domestic abuse and divorce.... lets talk about the deterioration of the already flawed school system.... and the complete disregard for the constitution and the stripping away of our rights.... the government does not ever 'give anything back'.... and for what? a disease with a 99% survival rating.... you fuckin ppl are the worst.... i hope everyone of you get exactly what you fuckin deserve.... :mad:

This is new information, you.

SARS-CoV-2 spike D614G variant confers enhanced replication and transmissibility

Abstract

During the evolution of SARS-CoV-2 in humans a D614G substitution in the spike (S) protein emerged and became the predominant circulating variant (S-614G) of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, whether the increasing prevalence of the S-614G variant represents a fitness advantage that improves replication and/or transmission in humans or is merely due to founder effects remains elusive. Here, we generated isogenic SARS-CoV-2 variants and demonstrate that the S-614G variant has (i) enhanced binding to human ACE2, (ii) increased replication in primary human bronchial and nasal airway epithelial cultures as well as in a novel human ACE2 knock-in mouse model, and (iii) markedly increased replication and transmissibility in hamster and ferret models of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Collectively, our data show that while the S-614G substitution results in subtle increases in binding and replication in vitro, it provides a real competitive advantage in vivo, particularly during the transmission bottle neck, providing an explanation for the global predominance of S-614G variant among the SARS-CoV-2 viruses currently circulating.

This all has to do with Trump and the fact that he didn’t do shit. Look where we are now. He is responsible along with those idiots who choose not to wear masks, social distance, following the prescribed recommendations. The fucking proof is in the thread. His campaign rallies are super spreader events. Yeah sorry about the results and the disappointments related to his ignorance.

What if ... the USA had closed down for a month instead of lingering, increasing disease counts? One month of missed weddings and parties causing people that are quick at the trigger to commit as many suicides and start as many addictions as they could in that one month. But no. Let's fester.

Yesh.

I read that lunchrooms are the dangerous area right now because people are gathered without masks to eat. It'd be great if people would discuss and focus on reducing that danger (with ventilation, reduced group size, spreading out, reducing time spent with masks off, etc.).

i see an awful lot of 'what if'.... thats cool.... but unfortunately we'll never know.... now.... let me tell ya what i do know.... while yall were barricaded up in your house, wearing face diapers and hiding under beds like anne frank in hitlers closet, i was out looking around.... i watched ppl walking around in masks and gloves, constantly touching their face, scratching their noses and adjusting their masks.... never once washing their hands or changing gloves.... even eating pizza and hot dogs in the same damn gloves.... and these same ppl looked at me like i was a health hazard.... it was so wild.... shopping in herds at the very few open stores.... the stores being poorly ventilated food warehouses like sams, costco and walmart.... i then realized it wasn't about stopping a disease.... it was about spreading it.... i looked at all the discarded ppe on the ground and laying in open trashcans.... and all the businesses spending so much on arrows for the floors, little circles telling you where to stand, signs reminding you to stand apart and wear masks and such.... BUT no containers for discarded ppe.... not a single one.... just throw it on the ground.... or if you feel like it, toss it in with the recyclables.... where it can be picked up in open air garbage trucks and driven around for blocks up and down neighborhoods and such.... no problem.... i understand that it doesn't register with most of yall.... i also know that of the 4 hospitals i visited had atleast half and up to 3/4s closed up.... they weren't 'overcrowded'.... they were running at half capacity or less.... i have more to say but i doubt yall get it anyway.... good luck to ya.... :(

What you see is imperfect application of imperfect precautions which, as imperfect as they are, are better than nothing. And ppl don’t follow those rules or go half-assed about them? We know, we see the numbers rising, so that barely new information.

cases.... everytime its 'cases'.... let me tell you about a friend of mine.... hes a full fledged covid survivor and believer.... he went in for testing and was found positive after 2 tests.... AFTER 2 TESTS.... he was quarantined and watched for 2 weeks after which he was found negative after 3 tests.... AFTER 3 TESTS.... i sincerely believe these tests to be irrelevant and they simply do them and re-do them until the desired results are produced.... most of these deaths are borrowed from other causes anyway.... as for covid itself, i think of it the same as a peanut allergy.... it might kill an occasional person but to most its not lethal.... :(
