I don’t what to think anymore.
Probably chronic vapers.
This was reported throughout the start in China.
The long term effects of this virus are NOT like the flu.
This thread is the 2nd thread I’ve seen questioning possible lung damage concerning Coronavirus.
People who fully recover from the coronavirus can be left with '20 to 30%' less lung function [TR]
I have diabetes and heart failure. Twice.
I’m so screwed.
images ??....
Absent verification and with all evidence to date pointing to almost ZERO infections with young folks I am calling this pure BS and a lame attempt for someone to get his name in the paper.
Just think of it as a different form of pneumonia
What’s the medical code for “nothing short of terrifying?”
Until we get more factual information this is just another clickbait triggering headline based on anecdotal claims.
And of course, it just has to be posted on FR.
“They are people who do not smoke, who have no other conditions such as diabetes or heart failure,” Demeyer added.
But what he doesn't say is that the coronavirus was the cause of the lung damage. But he certainly is trying to present that image because he doesn't state that he does not know the true cause of the lung damage at this time.
Probably not uncommon for people to have lung damage but still function and think they are just getting older and cannot do some of the things they did when they were younger.
I;m not saying that the CoVid-19 virus isn't responsible, just saying that there is no conclusive evidence that it is caused by the CoVud-19 virus. So right now take this with a grain of salt.
Well, if this gets these young plague spreaders to start taking things seriously, I applaud the doctor’s efforts.
I wonder if the medical establishment delineates between smoking tobacco and smoking pot. It could be that the politically-protected pot smoking is causing lung damage, but it is not showing up on medical records.
I imagine getting baked on a daily basis can’t be good for your lungs. I seem to recall a wee bit of respiratory distress back in my distant, distant youth.
I wonder if these people were smokers smoking in China, Japan, Middle East heavy smokers in those areas don’t know about the rest of Europe!!!!
Also seen with SARS.
I’ll just leave this here since it’s related:
Here is the current “overestimated” death rate from CV in Belgium:
.8%
It’s overestimated because deaths are a known number, but total cases is low because no one knows how many unrecorded cases there are. The more unrecorded cases exist, the lower that death will sink.
Oh, USA: 1.7% and sinking, thankfully.
Shoot, just living in Belgium is unhealthy.
There is a vaping hole in the story as presented.
Increasing numbers ?
Went from 2 to 5 ?
Hmm, careful examination of this story from the NYPost indicates it comes from Reuters. So, now we all believe Reuters?
Also, why have I seen this story before?
Our media, all of our media, is loving this!!! What a chance to sell papers and drive ratings.
How shameful.
Why aren’t more people asking for an explanation as to the unprecedented draconian actions being taken by both state and federal government agencies across the globe, to counter the spread of this virus?
Isn’t anyone curious?
My humble opinion is that this is a bioengineered weapon’s grade (enhanced) virus, let loose upon the globe by a worse case scenario lab accident or an unthinkable diabolical intentional act of war or sabotage.
I’m not buying a zoonotic cause as the source of origin. If it originated in any country other than China, maybe I would accept an animal to human virus transfer occurred. There’s just too many coincidences to point to, involving mischievous Chinese scientists suspected of stealing and or engineering corona virus variants.
