We don’t really know.
We do know that the first SARS had such an effect in some of the victims.
Do you have the cute little furry ears and tail? YOU might be a guinea pig! :)
It is with a heavy heart that I must tell you that my dear sister-in-law passed away from Covid 19 in Middletown, New York, early this morning.
Ann was 83 years old, and leaves behind four loving children, 11 adoring grandchildren, and six great- grandchildren.
Please pray for this family.
speaking of dead on the street, other than an early, single case of someone collapsing in NYC Chinatown, have you heard of any other case of sidewalk collapse in the US since then? I don’t think I have
I am sorry to hear of your SIL’s passing.
*hugs*

Prayers up.
I am very sorry to hear that.
Two ridiculously unhelpful studies out of MA today, one from their most prestigious hospital and the other their most prestigious university:

From Twitter...
“During the pandemic, Portland strip club offers a drive-thru...”
Well, that’s better than screaming nonsense at each other.
But, yes, it is slow.
An interesting tidbit from twitter, if true...
“@JoeNBC
Every non-stop flight from Ft. Myers to Detroit from May 1-June 20 is sold out!
Unacceptable.
Elderly people trying to go home from winter stay.
@delta consolidating flights to save money but exposing the most vulnerable who have been quarantining”

heard a talking head complain he never saw dosages or treatment plans mentioned, so from your link, breaking out the plan, that you study authors:
March 3 - [patient] began self-medication with acetaminophen
March 6 admission: Treatment with ampicillin/sulbactam (intravenous 3 g q4h) and clarithromycin (intravenous 500 mg q12h) was initiated. We treated the patient with oxygen inhalation, antibiotics, and nutritional support. a temperature of 38.4 °C and cephalea, both solved with acetaminophen
March 7 - day 2 - At the second day patient also received oseltamivir (orally 75 mg q12h).
Mar 8 - day 3 - oxygen and pharm agents continued
Mar 9 - day 4 - At the fourth day, it was decided to add chloroquine, phosphate, to the treatment (orally 300 mg, base, q12h) per 10 days plus continuing oseltamivir and antibiotics. continuing with febrile episodes, treated with acetaminophen.
Mar 10 - day 5 - no requirements of supplemental oxygen. [anxiety treated with] trazodone (orally 50 mg)
Mar 11 - day 6 - some dyspnea walking to bathroom. [but walking]
Mar 12 - day 7 - clinical condition had improved, with no fever, no dyspnea, no thrombocytopenia, with normal arterial-blood gases and improvement of the C-reactive protein levels, but remaining with leukopenia and lymphopenia
Mar 13 - day 8 - At this day, chloroquine and oseltamivir were discontinued after completed 5 days of treatment. the leukopenia improved, heart rate 90, bp 120/80, respiratory rate 20, temp 36.2, PO2 94%.
Mar 14 - day 9 - Discharged to 14 day home quarantine. leukocyte counts normal, mild elevation of the C-reactive protein. no fever nor cough. rRT-PCR negative.
I doubt the chicoms have much of a clue what they’re doing. And why they are ‘sending (PLA) medical officers to help” various countries, but never stopping long enough to scrub up, just to review what data they can steal.
The reason I say that is, in the beginning, after the US and other countries began airlifts, CCP stepped up and said, we’ll rescue our Chinese citizens anywhere. Rah Rah Rah. But the reality is, they’ve limited incoming flights to once a week, double-quarantine all incoming, and have outright refused to allow their own citizens entry. (from Myanmar and from Russia among others). One of the ministers on a video I saw got ballistic at the thought of sick incoming. Why should we take them, he yelled. Their own people. Conveniently labeled ‘foreigners’ and bounties paid to snitches. Not exactly an appropriate response for a nation that has a perfected treatment, eh?
No doubt.
I think this is one that got out before it was fully cooked.
and if it was ‘just the flu’, you’d think the chicoms would have settled down and stopped the lockdowns.
which makes me think they know something ‘WE’ haven’t figured out yet.
I think long term lung damage is a given. Pneumonia by itself can damage lungs and pleura. Once a virus enters a lung cell it’s destined to rupture/die. How much of each lung is infected = how many ruptured cells. Will the repair be scar tissue or nice healthy cells? Studies of near drowning and pneumonia patients should be helpful; in some, lung elasticity is permanently affected.
Johns Hopkins says it may take 3 months to over a year for the lungs to recover:
“After a serious case of COVID-19, a patient’s lungs can recover, but not overnight. “Recovery from lung damage takes time,” Galiatsatos says. “There’s the initial injury to the lungs, followed by scarring. Over time, the tissue heals, but it can take three months to a year or more for a person’s lung function to return to pre-COVID-19 levels.”

But a lot of Docs commit suicide. Is there an increase among covid treaters? I doubt it.
Yeah, that’s cold... but it’s also cold to use a suicide for profit too.
Sudden deaths are the hardest. Deepest Condolences to you and yours.
So sorry to hear Miserare. Prayers up.
