FMD, some new studies came out today.
One recent study investigated 100 recovering patients, all young(many under 30 with a group average of only 49), all two or three months past a relatively mild case of the SARS-CoV-2 infection. None requiring hospitalisation.
60% of those studied had signs of heart inflammation! That's endocarditis, myocarditis, and/or pericarditis. I know it's only a small study, it'll be interesting to see if it replicates around the globe.
Kids better take this seriously, years back my young niece died just a few days after childbirth from pericarditis / cardiomyopathy, when she got home from the hospital she slept a lot for a day or two, nothing unusual, then on the third day she collapsed and it was too late. He heart had been damaged by a massive build up of fluid around it, she was only 24.
I gather COVID ain't so funny now to the "it's just a cold" cranks and doubters, have the sniffles with a case of chronic heart disease "in 60% of mild cases!"
FFS, this is a long term tragedy unfolding, the USA is going to pay a high price for so many infections, and kids here do not take it seriously enough! :o
