It's been reported elsewhere so this report about long haul Covid diseases isn't a surprise. The number of people who were either asymptomatic or just mildly ill with Covid and later developed long haul symptoms surprised me.


Post-Covid health problems were common even among people who had not gotten sick from the virus at all, the study found. While nearly half of patients who were hospitalized for Covid-19 experienced subsequent medical issues, so did 27 percent of people who had mild or moderate symptoms and 19 percent of people who said they were asymptomatic.

the most common issue for which patients sought medical care was pain — including nerve inflammation and aches and pains associated with nerves and muscles — which was reported by more than 5 percent of patients or nearly 100,000 people, more than a fifth of those who reported post-Covid problems.

Breathing difficulties, including shortness of breath, were experienced by 3.5 percent of post-Covid patients.

Nearly 3 percent of patients sought treatment for symptoms that were labeled with diagnostic codes for malaise and fatigue,

Other new issues for patients, especially adults in their 40s and 50s, included high cholesterol, diagnosed in 3 percent of all post-Covid patients, and high blood pressure, diagnosed in 2.4 percent, the report said.



And people say they are afraid to take the vaccine.

Read today that 7-8% of children that had covid are long haulers in the UK.

And I thought Victoria Secret shitcanning their “ angels “ because they were no longer “ relevant “ was bad news.

Texas man who declined COVID-19 vaccine speaks out after undergoing double lung transplant …….

Joshua Garza had a chance to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in January but he passed it up, thinking he didn't really need it.

Now, the 43-year-old Texan is hoping to inspire others to get the shot after he became so ill following his COVID-19 diagnosis that he needed a rare double lung transplant to survive.

"COVID ended up attacking my lungs," Garza, of Sugarland, told ABC News.

After testing positive for COVID-19 in late January, Garza's health deteriorated rapidly. On Feb. 2, when he ended up falling while trying to walk, his wife called for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. He was ultimately transferred to Houston Methodist, where he was put on an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine to pump and oxygenate his blood for him.

"It was quick, it was within three weeks, the lungs were already shot," said Garza, who works in the oil and gas industry.

"They're telling you your lungs are failing, so you don't know if you're going to go to bed tonight and wake up tomorrow," he said.

Garza was put on the lung transplant list, and on April 13, successfully underwent surgery. He spent several more weeks recovering and rehabilitating to regain his strength after two months on life support before being released from the hospital on May 27.

Lung transplants are a rare intervention for COVID-19 patients "with no other options," Dr. Howard Huang, the medical director of lung transplantation at Houston Methodist and one of the doctors who treated Garza, told ABC News.

Ricky “ Dickhead “ Schroeder ( Silver Spoon up Rectum guy ) back in the news ….


Ricky Schroder protests Foo Fighters show over vaccine mandate ..
But of course.


Not that I would personally waste money on that band …. But that’s me.

The Foo Fighters played their first full-capacity concert since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, but one of the more recognizable faces wasn't in the audience. Child actor Ricky Schroder ventured over to the Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, Calif. on Tuesday night to join protesters upset over the concert's vaccine mandate.

Schroder, 51, was photographed with a group of several dozen protestors holding signs like "Foo Fighters fight to bring segregation back" and "event for vaccinated only, unvaccinated not allowed," per Variety.


What they’re doing is saying only vax people, separating humans is not OK," one of the protesters told CBS Los Angeles. "Those of us who have healthy immune systems should be able to enjoy these freedoms just like everybody else."

The Foo Fighters required attendees to show proof they received a COVID-19 vaccine in order to purchase tickets, which were only sold in-person last weekend. Schroder made his stance on that very clear in a Facebook post earlier this week.

"Dave Grohl is an ignorant punk who needs slapped for supporting Discrimination. Ignorance comes in all shapes & sizes," The Champ star wrote.

I honestly hope that the Delta virus does not waste many of those people or their families.

But it will. The next 12 months will be filled with stories of antivaxxers coughing up their lives and leaving loved ones behind. Many more will suffer long haul Covid. All for a preventable disease.

I'm vaccinated but that doesn't mean I don't care. It's their choice and the consequences are theirs to face. They will tell us so if we ask. Right @PJ Diaz ?

I'm not a fan of Ricky at all. He's a self-entitled asshole IMO. But yeah, I agree that people's choices should be theirs to make, and of course every decision comes with "consequences", but as long as people are willing to own up to the decisions that they make, and understand that they create their own destiny, instead of blaming others, I'm good with that.
