Long-Haulers Are Redefining COVID-19
“Long-Haulers Are Redefining COVID-19”
I suspect the Covid-19 is like HIV where it can hide in other parts of the body. The virus level drops to a point where it cannot be detected with the Nasal swab. It is sitting there waiting for the immune system to drop before coming back out again.
The Nasal swab is for detecting respiratory illness infections. Covid-19 might be a Vascular Disease too. Once a patient inflected the virus starts in the respiratory areas then moves through the blood to spread throughout the body.
They might need to develop a blood test for active Covid-19 instead of just antibodies.
I agree. I think that the fact that it killed elderly so quickly misled people into thinking it is an old/weak person respiratory virus (a misconception many still hold) rather than a virus like AIDS or shingles like virus that can wreck anyone, of any age, just over a longer period of time.
China knew.
This is the real danger of the virus and is the reason my family is still taking extraordinary measures not to get it. They just don’t understand enough about it yet. If I thought it was like the flu, I wouldn’t care, but thinking it could be something that plagues a person for who knows how long, that’s another story.
I know a long hauler (4 months) on another board, HCQ and other treatments knock it down, but it keeps coming back in waves and each is as bad as the first. The latest flares have caused seizures so it’s starting to affect his CNS. Healthy guy, mid forties.
Emory Doctor: 20% Of Admitted COVID-19 Patients Suffer ‘Cardiac Injury,’ Warns Athletes Of Risk
That is possible, but I think these long term symptoms can be explained by direct viral damage to tissues. Heart, lung and vascular damage will cause the various symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Throw in damage to the brain, nervous system, endocrine system, kidneys, etc, and who knows what the future holds for these "recovered" folks. I really hope it isn't nearly as bad as some of the studies suggest, and all of these "long-haulers" fully recover.
I'm sure the "hoaxers" will claim these studies are fake, and it's all part of evil super genius Bill Gates' plan to convince us all to accept the vaccine, wear a mask, social distance, install sharia law, defeat Trump or whatever the conspiracy of the day is.

Notre Dame student describes university quarantine experience as “scary,” “stressful”
My county started 2 weeks ago and we have 4 schools closed now I think and hundreds of cases. I know of dozens in a school that is not closed, through a friend. It was kind of a no brainer that kids can spread it just like they do everything else.
“It was kind of a no brainer that kids can spread it just like they do everything else.”
It was a no brainer. I was hoping those researchers were correct.
I can see the need for schools. Example: My sister in-law mother is having a hard time getting her three boys to pay attention to online classes. There father is out of the picture.
I can see a reason not to have school too. I guess America needs to adapt and overcome. We need to have two parent families and only one parent working.
My boys homeschooled all the way through and I saved virtual classes when they were 9th grade and up and even then it was online reading and answering questions, Quizzes, projects and papers, very few video presentations. Even now doing college online, my son turns on Cc and reads through the presentation.
I loved Abeka, and Math-u-see when my boys were young, Saxon math for middle school. My oldest had a hard time sitting still so it was 10 minutes on, 5 minutes running around, lol. He could sit through an hour by high school though.
Also to add, I have a friend who was a single mom who homeschooled her middle school daughters Through high school too... she worked during the day and they did school a lot like we did, using workbooks, and the mom checked their work when she got home. She felt like it didn’t take any more time than going over homework in the evenings.
So many researchers are rushing to make a name for themselves with COVID. Studies are being rushed, poorly designed, using bad or suspect data, and producing highly questionable conclusions. Some are little better than Sir Bedevere in Monty Python and the Holy Grail. At this point, the masses don't trust the researchers, as they are constantly flip flopping. Of course the earlier politicization of the media and science had already degraded that trust significantly.
