Some people who get Covid-19 will have problems for months. Thirty-five percent of patients surveyed by the CDC said they still weren't back to their usual good health even two to three weeks after testing positive for the disease.
These long haulers might have damage to their blood vessels, according to one doctor who is researching the long-term effects.
"We think that this long-term damage may in part be due to vascular damage, kind of a footprint that the virus leaves even when it's gone from the body," Dr. William Li told CNN.
Shelby Hedgecock, a former personal trainer, has problems that have lingered since April when she tested positive. Though she tested negative in May, she told CNN last month that she is still having neurological issues, cognitive issues, shortness of breath, chest pain, loss of smell and body aches and pains that send her to her bed for days.
Hedgecock's experience is not unique, Li said. His team is looking to connect the symptoms with data pointing to the virus not just affecting the lungs but the blood vessels that connect the whole body, the doctor said.
You don't need to be a scientist to know that these scientists are really stupid.
I feel like if you pulled the mask off these scientists you'd just discover that real author was old man GOP.
The risk is incredibly low of fatality for anyone without pre-existing conditions under 50.
But I just don't know how you isolate everyone considered "high risk" till you can achieve herd immunity.
A study produced by a team at Oxford University indicated that some parts of the United Kingdom may already have reached herd immunity from coronavirus.
Yup, this is why I hate the politicization of this fucking virus. People are making sensationalized emotional statements without reading the articles or dissent.If anyone is interested to hear other expert reactions to this declaration: https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/...lockdown-policies-and-for-focused-protection/
To be fair we don't know the potential long term damage of our current path either. It's all speculation.I'm sure if anyone looks further into this the scientists calling for this are probably all fringe whackjobs. We have no idea how long significant covid immunity lasts, nor the potential for long-term damage. I have a friend in her 20s who had a horrible bout with covid a few months ago and was told that she likely has permanent lung damage.
There's no expert that can guarantee the safety of this strategy. And giving an opinion doesn't carry the same accountability as making policy. So the decision makers would be better off ignoring the experts supporting any type of herd immunity strategy because it's far easier to make amends for lost opportunities than for lost lives.Yup, this is why I hate the politicization of this fucking virus. People are making sensationalized emotional statements without reading the articles or dissent.
Scientists who agree with my views: they're the experts and we need to listen to them
Sciebtisi who don't: They're fucking idiots and I'm smarter than them.
This is NOT a black and white discussion. And the dissenting scientists statements prove it.

... I'm so conflicted.
They're scientists, so I'm supposed to trust them... but they're saying stuff I disagree with... 😦

Nice to see more scientist who dare to speak up.
People are really stuck in their bubbles because of politics when it comes to this pandemic.
You don't have to agree with theese scientists but maybe they have a point. How many people will die and get long time effects because of lockdowns?
I recomend whatching interviews done by Unherd.com on youtube. Lots of experts all over the spectrum to get some more perspectives.

Considering the fact that lockdowns don't attack your body and covid does, i'm going to guess the answer to that is "not many."How many people will die and get long time effects because of lockdowns?
