I hope I'm the last one to get Covid19
I've read some very disturbing reports about the additional damage Covid 19 causes.
The emerging long-term complications of Covid-19, explained
Broadway Star Nick Cordero Dies at 41 after long term Covid19 fight
Texas Has Record Number Hospitalized for Covid 19 on July 5
That's 8,181 people hospitalized in 1 day!! And you know they went to ICU!
For those of you who say "building the herd immunity"... I hope I'm the last one to get this so that the medical community will have time to develop a successful treatment plan.
The emerging long-term complications of Covid-19, explained
An estimated 40 to 45 percent of people with Covid-19 may be asymptomatic, and others will have a mild illness with no lasting symptoms. But Nichols is one of many Covid-19 patients who are finding their recovery takes far longer than the two weeks the World Health Organization says people with mild cases can expect. (The WHO says those with severe or critical cases can expect three to six weeks of recovery.)
Because Covid-19 is a new disease, there are no studies about its long-term trajectory for those with more severe symptoms; even the earliest patients to recover in China were only infected a few months ago. But doctors say the novel coronavirus can attach to human cells in many parts of the body and penetrate many major organs, including the heart, kidneys, brain, and even blood vessels.
“The difficulty is sorting out long-term consequences,” says Joseph Brennan, a cardiologist at the Yale School of Medicine. While some patients may fully recover, he and other experts worry others will suffer long-term damage, including lung scarring, heart damage, and neurological and mental health effects.

Broadway actor Nick Cordero, who had been hospitalized for three months and had his leg amputated after contracting the coronavirus, has died, his wife, Amanda Kloots, said Sunday. He was 41.
A record 8,181 Texans with the coronavirus were hospitalized Sunday, a new daily high as overall cases slipped during the coronavirus pandemic.
