Covid-19 alert

Another reason for encouraging testing for covid-19 is because in one region of the world has been found a significant cases  whereby the only symptom has been a stroke ( blockage of some blood vessels of the brain inducing temporary or permanent damage ) of some sort

This has afflicted many younger people relating to said cases

You're really turning over rocks looking for things now.

 

The first link is about the USA's state budgets and tax revenues and what effect the virus has had.

 

The second link is about strokes for people diagnosed with SARS COV2

Neither is relevant.

That might be so but about 20% of those who are hospitalized do end up with some serious permanent damage, and there is a possibility that some of it will not become apparent for a while.  Those younger people who think that if they get it there is no need to worry, and do not give a damn about others, might get a nasty surprise.  Blood clots, which are not responding to the normal blood thinning treatments are just one of many conundrums doctors are dealing with when treating the COVID19 patients.

Yes.  And it hasn't been around long enough for doctors to gauge  what other damage could occur down the track.

Yes, there has been unusually high number of young people admitted with stroke caused by blood clots; when tested for corona virus they seem to have antibodies for COVID19.  That means that they were exposed some time ago and the blood clots are possibly related to the virus. 

So much we still do not understand.

Surely has been now - although i am not aware of any study of post-survivor standard of living life compared with their previous mode of living - be typical that no offical wants to open that can of worms 

 

But I imagine as business and commerce restart so the condition of covid-19 survivors will become more obvious

I wasn't talking about standards of living or the economy but HUMAN HEALTH setbacks which may not show for years.  Like everyone else on this thread is talking about incl you who started it.
