[crooky]

Fuck sake

The long-term effects of COVID-19, even on people who suffered a mild infection, could be far worse than was originally anticipated, according to researchers and doctors in northern Italy,The virus is a systemic infection that affects all the organs of the body, not, as was previously thought, just a respiratory disease, they say
Psychosis, insomnia, kidney , spinal infections, strokes, chronic tiredness and mobility issues are being identified in former coronavirus patients in Lombardy, the worst-affected region in the country.the doctors warn that some victims may never recover from the illness and that all age groups are vulnerable.

If this is true... If you think you have it, would it not be best to avoid getting tested and your results being shared on your summary care records for all to see?

It could stop you from getting holiday insurance, health insurance, some jobs etc

This does not surprise me and to be honest it was to be expected. Post viral issues are not uncommon. After all I know all about that, Glandular Fever at 15, M.E/ Fibro for the rest of my life. Many many Fibro/M.E. sufferers copped for it post viral.

Scotland update 0 deaths (five days with no deaths now) and just 6 new cases.

550 in hospital (-13) 6 in ICU (same).

Nicola Sturgeon also updated on the higher number of cases yesterday. Most were asymptomatic and many in one care home.

This seems more like a man made Virus no way a virus similar to the flu but way more contagious would have all these side effects if you get it.

This is based on what?
Your reading of the tea leaves?

Not the first time the words "smash and grab" have been on the front of the Liverpool Echo.

A town not far from Barcelona has been placed back into lockdown due to a huge spike in coronavirus cases.
In the first lockdown of its kind since Spain ended its state of emergency last month, as many as 140,000 residents in Lleida, Segrià, have been ordered to stay in their homes.

That was reported on July 5th https://news.sky.com/story/coronavi...nia-back-into-lockdown-as-cases-rise-12020938

King's College also now suggesting that immunity doesn't last much beyond three months. Given that falls in line with how other coronaviruses behave, the decision to hope for the best and run with a herd immunity strategy (which we quite clearly did) seems unbelievably stupid.

to be fair, 30 is incredibly young and rare to die from this.
