Some are now classifying it more broadly as vascular, not respiratory, condition.


How befitting if it actually derived from bats, unaltered or enhanced.

I think only time will really tell the long lasting effects some have from this virus. It is too soon to fully know.


Considering some of the damage it has caused to those that suffered more severely from it and lived ....one could assume they will have continued health issues for a quite a while, maybe even the rest of their lives.

Google is full of articles declaring that asymptomatic people are having their lungs destroyed. Most seem to track back to one or 2 studies, so I'm sure at this point it's not a fully known conclusion yet.

Having said that, the state of some of these articles is atrocious. Check out the one below, here is the headline, and an excerpt from the article
quote:

Scientists Seeing Lung Damage in Asymptomatic COVID-19 Patients

quote:

A medical examiner in Florida, who investigated the bodies of people infected with COVID-19 confirmed to Fox 5 Atlanta that the lung damage is he sees is extremely severe. He tells FOX 5 he's worried people aren't taking the virus seriously enough.


I mean what the frick, how can your write an article about "asymptomatic" people and then include a quote about a coroner looking at bodies? Journalism is a damn sham these days

Plenty of athletes (pro and college) have had this.

If there was permanent damage on mildly or asymptomatic people it would be apparent.

Not saying short term can't have issues with fluid etc.

I was a college distance runner. Caught bacterial pneumonia towards end of High School senior track season which was early May.

I got antibiotics and "felt better" in a matter of a day.
However, the fluid and shite lingered through middle of summer.

Many people who do become sick can have some serious sequela from being so sick. We are seeing myocarditis (heart inflammation) which often leads to kidneys crapping out. Then dialysis. Which is often permanent if not the end. I suspect will see structural heart disease and pulmonary hypertension in a subset of pts.

Not so sure about the aysmptomatic.

There are people who are surviving who are coming out with significant scar tissue in the lungs. It’s not everyone and it’s not asymptomatic cases.

There are reports of cardiac scarring, but at a lower incidence of pulmonary damage.

Numbers are all over the place but the consensus seems to be around 20% of those who are hospitalized.

Strong correlation of incidence with ARDS.
