Woman left wheelchair-bound after contracting COVID-19 at BLM protest: reports
New York Post ^ | November 17, 2020 | Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

A California woman has been wheelchair-bound for five months after contracting coronavirus at a Black Lives Matter protest, according to reports.

Nataly Najarro, 24, said she suffers from “long COVID” as a result of her diagnosis, which came after she attended a BLM protest in Hollywood on June 7 — and despite wearing a mask and taking other precautions, news service Media Drum World reported.

Now, several months later, Najarro still struggles with chronic fatigue, memory loss, anxiety, and fevers — which often make her too weak to even walk.

This is impossible. COVID only affects those who attend a rally for President Trump, or attend a church service, or attend a motorcycle rally in Strurgis or shop at a small business. I call a fake infection!

A woman who contracted COVID-19 at a Black Lives Matter protest has revealed that she has been in a wheelchair for the past five months . . .

While I am sympathetic to anyone who is sick, I would be willing to wager that being wheelchair bound has nothing to do with the "virus".

I was at every Open NC protest except the last two. I guess I can count my lucky stars. Oh BTW we still have Pubs and live Music here in NC and I guess we’d all rather Live then DIE in our lockdown rooms.

You could get infected at the grocery store.

Wrongo! You can only get infected at small businesses restaurants bars churches and Trump rallies. Facts checked!

OK, I read the article...

Sorry, but this sounds like complete BS. My take is that they paid some woman suffering from debilitating MS to say she got COVID and that;s why she’s in a wheelchair, to pump up the COVID fear-mongering.

I just posted something similar. Her symptoms sound similar to MS.

Sounds like she just wants to get an undeserved SSI benefits check every month because she claims to be unemployable-that is why her symptoms sound so much like some she would have with any number of more common autoimmune ailments-MS, Guillane Barre, Lupus, etc, etc-and “long covid”-sounds like a made-up illness-I’m not at all sympathetic-maybe I’ve seen too many fake disability claims as a case manager...

We should shut down every interstate highway and restrict the speed limit to 15 mph on all roads until we figure out how to stop the spread of fatal auto accidents.

I recommend the Cougar 9000. It’s the Rolls Royce of wheelchairs. This is like... you’re almost glad to be handicapped.

She’s happy because her ambulance chaser attorney just told her that she will get her 1st SSDI check soon-but she has to ambulate with the wheelchair every time she is in public to keep the fraud alive...

If she was throwing jars of urine perhaps it got on her.

Is this seriously a side effect of COVID, or is she too stupid to realize she might have another condition causing these symptoms?

Or smart enough to play it up to leach off her parents?

Study finds 1 in 5 COVID-19 patients develop mental illness within 90 days

COVID-19 has been linked to a greater risk of developing mental health disorders, a new study from Britain’s Oxford University states.

The report published in The Lancet peer-reviewed medical journal found that 1 in 5 COVID-19 survivors will receive a mental health diagnosis within 90 days of infection.

Among the most common are anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, insomnia and dementia.

The Oxford study evaluated health records of 69 million people in the United States, more than 60,000 of whom had been diagnosed with coronavirus. It also found correlations between preexisting psychiatric disorders and an increased chance of contracting coronavirus.

Those previously diagnosed with mental health problems were 65 percent more likely to test positive for COVID-19. A similar correlation exists with other infections, including pneumonia.

Patients already diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, bipolar disorder, depression and schizophrenia were among those most likely to receive a positive coronavirus diagnosis, the study found.

Looks like a coming plague of phantom diseases.

Get the free money ready.

Unfortunate for her.

But good for the country.

If her legs aren’t working, how does she squeeze into those tight jeans?

I was wondering that, too. I worked at a nursing home. People in wheelchairs wore sweats, pajama bottoms or other stretchable pants. Jeans that tight would be almost impossible to pull up on someone who can't stand or balance themselves.
