New information on connection between coronavirus and strokes in younger patients found in the Washington Post.


Young and middle-aged people, barely sick with covid-19, are dying of strokes

Washington Post said:
Stroke surge
Reports of strokes in the young and middle-aged — not just at Mount Sinai, but also in many other hospitals in communities hit hard by the novel coronavirus — are the latest twist in our evolving understanding of the disease it causes. The numbers of those affected are small but nonetheless remarkable because they challenge how doctors understand the virus. Even as it has infected nearly 2.8 million people worldwide and killed about 195,000 as of Friday, its biological mechanisms continue to elude top scientific minds. Once thought to be a pathogen that primarily attacks the lungs, it has turned out to be a much more formidable foe — impacting nearly every major organ system in the body.

"If somebody who is 81 dies of COVID-19, that is not the same thing as somebody who is 30 dying of COVID-19...If grandma dies in a nursing home at age 81, that's tragic and it's terrible, also the life expectancy in the United States is 80"

The idea of being able to save the 81 year old AND the 30 year old is simply too much for conservative political commentators to process. Much easier to walk around like :shrug: "You can't possible be suggesting we strive for anything better!?"

The problem is that some just don't get that saving both of these requires same measures. True, 30 year old should better cope with the virus in general but making 30 years olds sick in mass really isn't that much of a solution. Plus once you overwhelm the healthcare system these should also start to die in numbers. Here we closed the country since there are no conditions for the real market, because we would just deliver people to the virus and have even bigger problem (this is basically what US was doing originally until the disaster became too overwhelming). Therefore even today when the peak is clearly behind and openings have started some types of businesses will stay closed since there will not be much demand for them anyway. After all they lose less if they stay closed while the government will from what I see make sure these people have for food and basics.

While I 100% agree I absolutely hate this sentiment, I have seen this exact commentary from non-conservative people closer to my age group. I think it is the disease of selfishness existing in our culture...

A nurse on the frontlines in New York City:

Americans needs to take back control immediately. The government is not our friend. Big corporations are not our friends. Certain Governors are definitely not our friends. Demand transparency of treatment and proof of cause of death. All healthcare workers are free of liability right now. I realize it is not like this everywhere, so in places it is like this....question those in charge.

Where/how did you get that quote?

PSA: For people returning to work when a lock down is over. Be warned that since cops stopped doing traffic stops during the Lockdown in some areas, as well as reduced traffic. The new speed limit has become 98mph on most high ways. So be careful out there!

This isn't a joke BTW.

I gotta ask, was anyone sick around January for at least 3 days. That felt really bad? I am talking shakes, soreness, and mild cough.

Apparently at work, this "3 day rule" has become a very common defining factor, on people who caught Covid before the pandemic hit fully. That recovered/mildly symptomatic. I myself, as well as 5 others experienced this sickness within 2 weeks in January. None of us considered it to be a "Normal cold". It lines up, considering I work for a Japanese company. As well as having many Chinese customers.

That happened to me in February, with the most intense symptoms lasting for around a week: had a fever that would subside the reappear. Lots of dry coughing. Had a day and a half of extreme fatigue. Had periods throughout but not consistently where I felt like I was having trouble breathing.

I'd be curious to take an antibody test.

Yeah, I am beginning to think it came and gone, before we even really knew about it here. No one has gotten sick since. When I got it, I had a cough till march. But my coughs always last months, because I have very poor lungs. I think I actually posted about being sick, right when it started to become known in China on here too.

I made a post on Feb first, about being sick as fuck.

Maybe I did catch Corona. I was joking about it then, but fuck... the people I could have infected. Nothing could stop it.

I think I had something flu-like in January or February. I also had something in March or April which I mostly slept off in a day. (As soon as I feel flu symptoms, I take time off work and sleep as much as possible to boost my immune system.) I remember there were quite a few people with bad, persistent cough sometime in the November-January period.

I'm looking forward to an antibody test.
