Coronavirus doctor says lung scans for young patients were ‘nothing short of terrifying’

A Belgian doctor working to battle the coronavirus says he’s treated several seriously ill young patients — and their lung scans were “nothing short of terrifying,” according to reports.

Dr. Ignace Demeyer, who works at a hospital in Aalst, said an increasing number of people between the ages of 30 and 50 have presented with severe symptoms, despite having “blank medical records” that show no underlying conditions that would make them high-risk, the Brussels Times reported.

“They just walk in, but they are terribly affected by the virus,” Demeyer told the Belgian broadcaster VRT.

And the pearl clutchers will head off again to the basement for some brisk handwashing followed by a round of hand sanitizer.

Not buying this article. Way different than what recovered patients say and way different than virtually every other report I’ve read.

Vaping doesn’t appear to be a problem on continental Europe....

per wiki....
“Europe Edit”

“What little we know of recent reports from the U.S. is that the devices used appear to be linked to “home brews’ of illicit drugs and not legitimate vaping products,” Martin Dockrell, overseer of tobacco control at Public Health England, stated in September 2019.[33]”

It’s definitely vaping. I saw a guy vape once in Cleveland and I’m certain it’s vaping.

“A 10-year-old Connecticut boy died of flu. So did a 21-year-old bodybuilder, and 4-year-old Jonah Reiben of Dayton, Ohio.

These are not the usual sick and elderly people who die from influenza. But every year, flu carries away perfectly healthy young adults and children, and tens of thousands of people over 65.”

I have read that the virus may have been the US last fall and they are blaming on the vaping and not the virus.

Folks i am not believing any experts and what they have to say. One says one thing and another says something different.

Every natural disaster for as far back as i can remember the govt has screwed up bigtime in the aftermath. We spend billions and billions of dollars and we get crap every time.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
