Coronavirus: They avoided hospital but they still aren't getting better

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53269391

Thousands of people are sharing stories of their prolonged battle with Covid-19, using hashtags and joining Facebook groups like the Long Covid Support Group, which has more than 5,200 members.

Data from the Covid Symptom Study app, downloaded more than three million times, suggests a "significant number" of people report symptoms for a month. One in 10-20 report it for longer than that, says genetic epidemiologist Prof Tim Spector, who came up with the app idea.

"What may well be different with Covid-19 is the sheer range of observed long-term health consequences."

The tiredness, "brain fog" and lingering loss of taste and smell that many long-haulers report has led some to ask whether the virus actually attacks the brain
"It's not yet fully known as to how these symptoms come about, for example whether the virus has an indirect effect on the nervous system, or whether it can pass through the blood-brain barrier and affect the brain directly," says Dr Head.

"It is certainly very clear that the virus does affect many parts of the body beyond the lung."

Experts express concern ...

that only a low percentage of global populations have been infected by covid ...

as it reaches third world countries with poverty and poor health systems it will become unstoppable

and that the summer season in the northern hemisphere does not appear to have slowed the virus down ...

ultimately ... They worry the worst is yet to come .


Matter of time before poorer countries are sucked down like in a whirlpool - probably true.

Till I saw this video on Vietnam - neighbor to China and zero death from Covid

Twenty seconds into the Video and I understood why?

Covid is airborne Anyone can get it. 0-99
New born babies even transmitted to them by mother.


Unwilling people to Social Distance is helping the spread.

They suspect -not certain yet- that the droplets to which the virus adheres don't fall down as fast as they thought before. Now some think these droplets can 'float' around for up to 3 hrs after they got in the air, --by a person who is infected with it.

If that turns out to be true we haven't seen the last of face masks yet.

It does give to think about using aircos. We don't typically use them over here as there's no need for them, apart from office buildings.
Could that be the reason why in the US numbers doubled of late as opposed to go down?
I don't know, didn't read up on it, but it is peculiar. Then again, that didn't happen in Australia and there many up north use airco too. Hmm...

Coronavirus: Nations heading in wrong direction with Covid-19, says WHO

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-53393037

Director general Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said "too many countries [were] headed in the wrong direction".

"The virus remains public enemy number one, but the actions of many governments and people do not reflect this," he said.

Dr Tedros said measures such as social distancing, hand washing, and wearing masks in appropriate situations needed to be taken seriously, warning that there would be "no return to the old normal for the foreseeable future".

"If the basics aren't followed, there is only one way this pandemic is going to go," Dr Tedros said, adding: "It's going to get worse and worse and worse."

Reading this article, we cannot say that we haven't been warned.

Bill Gates said in 2016 that the population how to be decreased by 75% and could be done by a virus and vaccines he has been experimenting 2with vfaccines for years on black people in Africa killing thousands.

These are facts look them up

Last September a group of the richest people from all countries gathered to discuss what restrictions they would make on the population of the World when the virus happened

They just want to frighten people and control people and make them believe this virus is deadly because next year they will tell you they have created a wonder vaccine and everyone needs it but it is just a way to inject people with a micro chip which will transmit through this new 5G network which was what it was created for

all your details including your money passport will be on this chip we know they are planning to do away with paper money just a credit card and chip which they can turn off at any time


Same as electic they want you to have everything electric including your car

GCVHCS Issues iPads for Video Connect Visits
http://www.biloxi.va.gov/BILOXI/features/GCVHCS_Issues_More_Than_400_iPads_for_VA_Video_Connect_Appointments.asp

The iPads, featuring the department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) Video Connect, Mindfulness and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Coach apps, have been issued to some Veterans as part of the organization’s telehealth initiative, an ongoing endeavor to provide virtual care when applicable to Veterans receiving medical care at any of the VA medical centers or outpatient clinics throughout the United States. The internet capable devices come pre-loaded with VA-specific mobile applications such as VA Video Connect and cannot be modified.

“This technology gives Veterans the chance to participate in remote medical appointments with their provider,” said GCVHCS Facility Telehealth Coordinator Michelle Wilkerson. “Using the [mobile] app, a Veteran can either chat or have a video consultation with their healthcare team or provider from almost anywhere.”

The Department of Veterans Affairs announced in June that the use of VA Video Connect has supported a more than 1000 percent increase in video visits directly to Veterans homes or other place of choice during the ongoing global pandemic. Between February and May, video visits to Veterans homes increased from 10,000 to more than 127,000 per week during the last week in May.

Veterans interested in learning more about telehealth options are encouraged to contact the GCVHCS.

The Biloxi Veterans Affairs (VA) Medical Center, along with the Mobile, Pensacola, Eglin and Panama City VA Clinics are all part of the GCVHCS, which is headquartered in Biloxi, Mississippi, and provides a variety of medical outpatient services to more than 70,000 Veterans.

While everyone is at risk for getting COVID-19 if they're exposed to the virus, people of any age with certain medical conditions — like heart disease, diabetes, or COPD — are more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19. Visit CDC.gov for a list of conditions that might put you at higher risk.

If you or a loved one are at an increased risk, take these steps to help protect yourself:

Continue your medicines and treatment plans as directed by your healthcare provider. Ask your Medicare drug plan about extended-day supplies.
Call your healthcare provider if you have any concerns or feel sick. Don't delay getting emergency care for your medical condition because of COVID-19.
If you must go out in public, stay safe by wearing a face covering and maintaining social distance.

If you're at higher risk for complications from COVID-19 and you need to see your doctor, consider telehealth and virtual visits. For more general information about COVID-19 and your Medicare coverage, visit Medicare.gov.

Sincerely,

The Medicare Team

This guy gets it IMO. The real powers that be know there are just too many people in the world and they would like nothing better than to eliminate a big percentage of the population.
This virus could have been engineered as a test, there could be more and worse coming.

Coronavirus: Are mutations making it more infectious?

The coronavirus that is menacing the world right now is not the same as the coronavirus that first emerged in China.

The notable mutation - named D614G and situated within the protein making up the virus's "spike" it uses to break into our cells - appeared sometime after the initial Wuhan outbreak, probably in Italy. It is now seen in as many as 97% of samples around the world.

In fact, the D614G variant is so dominant, it is now the pandemic. And it has been for some time - perhaps even since the start of the epidemic in places like the UK and the east coast of the US. So, while evidence is mounting that this mutation is not neutral, it doesn't necessarily change how we should think about the virus and its spread.

On a more reassuring note, most of the vaccines in development are based on a different region of the spike so this should not have an impact on their development. And there's some evidence the new form is just as sensitive to antibodies, which can protect you against an infection once you've had it - or been vaccinated against it.

So........

New Zealand went 101 days without any signs of covid community transmission ..

then late on Tuesday night I was awoken from my sleep by an emergency text alert advising 4 cases of covid had been detected in Auckland with source of infection unknown . (Sounded like the tsunami/ earthquake alert lol) Auckland is now back in alert level 3 lockdown and the rest of nz alert level 2 , while the ministry of health attempts to contact trace, test and establish the origin .

A cold store facility which receives international goods is being tested as a potential source .

Travel plans are on hold yet again tears

then to research curing Aids,a spin off stirred a new viral which means the beginning of Sars,there's 3 of them,we're in faze two...the beer virus or cornholio virus...or 'covid19'. After you discover the connection between fake media and fascism...you find Bolshevik's of the extremist wing of the Russian Social Democratic party that seized power in Russia by the Revolution of November 1917 become communists which is an American term presented to Marx for approval, from a family of Satanic worshipers from around Napoleanic times whom have caused chaos globally,world,civil,personal wars,etc. since it's then Patriarch of the family of the Ancient wealth of them known as the "Rothschild's"...their current net worth being an untraceable $500-Tril.
There is one remnant living of that ilk.,11th hour awaiting.
It's everywhere but mostly on youtube.

This 2nd wave that is happening in most placing is quite shocking. For some countries it's a wider and higher curve than the first one. Australia for instance, a whopper of a 2nd wave, much worse than the 1st one. Unreal. Still within acceptable numbers, but to see it be so much worse...

France is getting close to as bad as the 1st round, Spain too...
Italy seems to be doing better in that sense. So far...
These are all 3 holiday countries and even though less ppl go on holiday, there are still knuckleheads that do take off to France (mostly).
The rest is coming to my island it seems :/

Over here it's going up as well, but so far not to the point as the 1st time. Fingers crossed.

New rules from Monday the 14th. September.
Social gatherings of more than six people, both indoors and outside, will be banned and punished by ÂŁ100 fines, doubling with each subsequent violation to a maximum of ÂŁ3,200.
