CV and mad panic behaviour

[ElwoodBlues1]

Don't like to read that [member=57]ElwoodBlues1[/member] ... worrying.  My best. 

Thanks Cap, she was nearly totally blind in that eye but is on thinners and has regained some of her sight but is seen as a high risk.
She also has a bad cholesterol problem and is intermittent with her medication which is on her but the specialist advice was wait
and see what improvements in the vaccines can be made and they will revisit that advice.
Loves her footy and is a big Saints supporter so she hasnt had much to cheer about of late....

Reminds me of arguments about compulsory seat belts. Opponents seized on the freak cases where someone not wearing a seat belt was thrown clear of a car that burst into flames after a crash to say that it should be up to each person to weigh the pros and cons.

My father wrapped his Valiant around a pole (Drivers side) in Brunswick Rd Brunswick just after I was born in 1967. If he was wearing a seatbelt he wouldn't have survived (they found him on the passenger side part of the bench seat). Never stopped him wearing one when it became compulsory.

 Yep, you can be lucky ........................... and unlucky, as Ben Cousins might say ................... "Such is Life!"

Yep, 1970.  Sir Arthur Rylah and 1st country in the world to do it. 

Interesting bloke was Artie Rylah....I remember he was the one to allow Sunday Sport which everyone now takes for granted.
Did a lot of stuff people didnt like too but what he did escapes my memory as I was very young.

Is your MIL on statins?

Is your MIL on statins?

Not sure would have to ask....its my daughters MIL but I'll find out, problem is she doesnt take her meds regularly and doesnt follow
the diet regime she should. No she isnt over weight either, and is a tall thin lady.

Unfortunately, Cooper Ratten is an example of someone who would have benefitted from wearing a seatbelt. A cop who was part of the crew investigating that crash told me it took them some time to find Cooper as he was thrown well clear of the car in long grass. He reckoned if he'd worn a seat belt, he would have lived.

An interesting study from a couple of months ago:

People who contract COVID-19 are also 100 times more likely to experience cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) than the general population, a new pre-print Oxford University study has found.

The research, conducted in the wake of numerous high-profile clotting cases linked to people who had received the AstraZeneca vaccine, found around 39 in one million people with COVID are diagnosed with CVT, compared with 0.4 per million people who had not contracted the disease.

CVT was also found to be more common among people who received either the Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca COVID vaccines – at a rate of between 4–5 per million – meaning people with coronavirus are between 8–10 times more likely to develop the blood clots than those who have been vaccinated against it.

‘There are concerns about possible associations between vaccines and CVT, causing governments and regulators to restrict the use of certain vaccines. Yet, one key question remained unknown: “What is the risk of CVT following a diagnosis of COVID-19?”,’ co-lead author Professor Paul Harrison said.

‘We’ve reached two important conclusions. Firstly, COVID-19 markedly increases the risk of CVT, adding to the list of blood clotting problems this infection causes.

‘Secondly, the COVID-19 risk is higher than seen with the current vaccines, even for those under 30; something that should be taken into account when considering the balances between risks and benefits for vaccination.’

Glad your dad got out of the accident okay... must have been really travelling to wrap a Valiant around a pole, they were one solid piece of machinery.

Through the 60s us kids were either Ford or Holden... not Baggers, I was a Valiant kid, especially the Valiant S. I convinced dad and mum to get a Valiant Regal in '69. Ripper car. Sorry, I digress...
