Coronavirus Warning from Italy: The Effects of Covid-19 could be worse than first thought

[Larissa]

Italian doctors are warning that COVID-19 is not just a respiratory disease but a killer affecting the whole body. The long-term effects of COVID-19, even on people who suffered a mild infection, could be far worse than was originally anticipated, according to researchers and doctors in northern Italy.

Psychosis, insomnia, kidney disease, spinal infections, strokes, chronic tiredness and mobility issues are being identified in former coronavirus patients in Lombardy, the worst-affected region in the country.

1. All right. Time to stop licking public toilets...

...I guess.

2. Let's just get this straight: When the aftermath of the bad decisions made by our Republican

governors begins to weigh down our health service, no one, but NO ONE, can say they didn't know the full consequences.

Let's face it, they are doing everything in their power to IGNORE any report that states the negative side effects.

And I do believe that we need tribunals for these governors.

3. This part is important in terms of kids going back to school.

So little is known of the virus that any long-term planning is guess work.

Doctors believe that even the youngest and mildest infected are at risk of their lives being changed forever, and it could take years to become apparent. Whole workforces could become less productive as a consequence.

The advice from Italy is simple: Don't get infected.

5. Wish I could rec a comment - what you say is exactly right

stinking republicans may be condemning a generation of children to a lifetime of medical problems all so Donnie can get reelected.

7. GOP might be creating The Sickest Generation

And we may not find out for ten years.

4. And now one in every 100 Americans is getting the disease.

This so totally sucks.

6. And reports from Italy are showing that even people who get a mild version often have long-lasting

problems from having had the virus.
