One In Three / Chronic Covid

edited October 2020 in Other

1in 3 Covid survivors come away with unpredictable chronic conditions. Recharacterizing the illness correctly as vascular and not respiratory portrays it’s truly catastrophic consequences. A vascular problem effects every part of the body that has a blood supply, from glaucoma to heart attack, kidney failure and stroke, with every organ system in between. Thinking that most people recover, or that the illness is mild is a faulty paradigm, and diminishes what the disease is really up to.

These unfortunate victims now have a name, “Longhaulers”. Over 8,000,000 infected in the US so far. That means close to 3,000,000 lives affected with lingering or unexpected and sudden consequences. And it’s not just oldies with conditions. 1 in 5 infected is under 30. Many doctors, apparently, still think these consequences are in the survivor’s imaginations. That will change, undoubtedly.

Here is a site with stats for this problem.

    This should definitively be talked about more. The media will never cover this to the extend it should. They hardly ever do.

  • Maybe because there appear to be so many in denial. Is it just me or does there seem to be a huge number of lunatics out there believing the virus is a hoax?

    I think your 3,000,000 calculation is way off @LinearLineman. They are not saying that any of the population who has had a positive test for Covid has a one in three chance of becoming a long hauler with lingering chronic symptoms 😃 👍

  • @robosardine, maybe you are right.... but maybe not. You, apparently, can have a very mild case but still get chronic problems. In addition, we can be pretty sure that many more are infected without having a confirmed test. Excess death rates in the US were reported at 300,000... that’s almost 50% above the 220,000 reported for Covid. So, it’s still a shitload of cases no matter what metric one uses.

    British epidemiologists have developed a tool that predicts the likelihood of an infected person developing ‘long COVID’. It’s bad, but not on the scale suggested above;

    Of course, the bugger is that as an individual, you don’t know if you’ll fall into that category. As a nearly 60. overweight, Type 2 diabetic former male, I hit too many risk factors to want to take a chance. Which is why I have literally left the house less than a dozen times since January.Hey ho. Getting plenty of music practice in, though. Silver linings and all that...

  • @Svetlovska, you have done the absolutely right thing. When I talk to my partner about this I express concern that even a vaccine, with its 50% effectiveness, taken by 50% of Americans does not clear us oldsters with health issues. Only when the infection rate approaches zero will we resume normal activity. Stay healthy!

  • I'm guessing they don't want to talk about the long term covid suffering as it will cost money, and quite frankly the world is dealing with 'now' , not what will happen long term.
    That's another boat load of shit for another prime minister or president to deal with, as they would of retired or voted out by then....
    Stay safe... Basically stay in and don't minge
