Long COVID is debilitating children. Doctors worry there aren’t enough centers to treat them

inny artykuł pokazujący jak long COVID dotyka dzieci. Powinniśmy protestować, domagać się podstawowych środków bezpieczeństwa w szkołach jak maski, filtracja powietrza i wentylacja. Można zmniejszać szkody i ryzyko. Trzeba tylko chcieć.

Long COVID Is Disabling Kids. Why We Ignore It | The Tyee

Tldr: przechorowanie COVIDa powoduje uszkodzenia mózgu, a my jako ludzkość nie robimy nic by chronić przed tym całe pokolenie młodzieży i dzieci.

"The economic impact of these people’s health problems is evident,” the study’s lead author said, “underscoring the urgent need for specific treatment to reduce the loss to both the individuals concerned and society as a whole.”

In Shanghai and Hong Kong, researchers have found similar results, though they speculate that brain inflammation, not the virus itself, may be a factor in memory loss.

They also worry about the effect of COVID-19 on children’s developing brains:

“These long COVID symptoms, especially memory problems, can significantly affect the self-confidence and development of children in coming years,” the researchers write.

“Children under 10–12 years are supposed to be [in] the most important stages for the brain development, which [implies] that the effects of viral infection on children’s brains can be more destructive.”

Red collage - "Odkryj informacje podane do publicznej wiadomości oraz 100 tabletek"

"The collages background is abstract and mostly red, yellow, orange, with some small blue and white splashes. It was painted using a sponge.There are some protruding pieces of cardboard glued to it. There are also 4 window like openings in the background. There is a string with metal loops attached to it, that can be used to hang the piece. This pieces theme is my experiences with chronic illness and covid.

Oto kolaż zrobiony z makulatury, kartonu i pomalowane akrylami. Ten kolaż jest o moim doświadczeniu z chorobą przewlekłą i trwającą pandemią COVIDa."

International Directory — COVID-Conscious Therapist Directory

"Your mental health provider shouldn’t tell you that continuing to take safety precautions to lower your risk of infection is irrational. Anxiety and increased stress are reasonable responses (among many others) to everything that has happened in the last three years — and everything that continues to unfold. "

Na razie nie widzę żadnych terapeutów z polski na tej liście, szkoda, ale może to się zmieni jeszcze? Znacie takie osoby?

The immunology of long COVID - Nature Reviews Immunology

The oncoming burden of long COVID faced by patients, health-care providers, governments and economies is so large as to be unfathomable, which is possibly why minimal high-level planning is currently allocated to it. If 10% of acute infections lead to persistent symptoms, it could be predicted that ~400 million individuals globally are in need of support for long COVID. The biggest unknowns remain the joined-up scheme of its pathogenesis and thus the best candidate therapeutics to be trialled in randomized controlled trials, along with a better understanding of the kinetics of recovery and the factors influencing this. Some countries have invested in first-round funding for the pilot investigations. From the above, far more will be needed.

The Pandemic Really Is Over, No Seriously, We Mean It This Time, (Except the numbers don't add up, at all.)

"Look, everyone wishes we could get back to some kind of normal. A lot of us are doing that with clean air technologies and masks.

The rich don’t like that…

That doesn’t give government agencies or the media permission to lie and manipulate data in order to get the reality they want. If my math is right, then it’s honestly disturbing to see the lengths our institutions will go to in order to convince the public that they’re safe when they’re not.

My math says excess mortality remains at 6 percent or higher, depending on the month. This isn’t conspiracy talk. The numbers I’m looking at literally don’t match what “liberal” mainstream journalists are trying to tell us. It looks a lot like someone’s trying to cook the books on excess mortality, using the last two years as a new baseline for measurement, a “new normal.”

If so, that’s basically cheating."

CDC: Research Says Long Covid "Contributing" to Labor Shortage

Około 18% ludzi z Long COVIDem nie wróciło do pracy przez ponad rok. CDC mówi że to "szkodzi amerykańskiej gospodarce". Nie znam statystyk polskich, nie wiem czy ktokolwiek je prowadzi. Założę się że w Polsce też to problem. Lockdowny "szkodziły gospodarce" więc je zniesiono, ale jak widać brak jakichkolwiek środków ochronnych przed pandemią też szkodzi i dopóki nic z tym nie zrobimy, będzie szkodził nadal, nie tylko "ekonomii" i "gospodarce", ale nam wszystkim, zwykłym ludziom.

The Reality Gap

Tldr: Każdy jest zagrożony COVIDem, bo każdy może mieć long COVID, jest dużo niewiadomych na temat COVIDa, ale to co wiemy wyraźnie pokazuje że infekcja może mieć długotrwałe negatywne skutki dla prawie wszystkich organów ludzkich jak i układu odpornościowego. Twierdzenie że "COVID jest teraz łagodny" po prostu i zwyczajnie nie ma nic wspólnego z rzeczywistością.

"It is in fact difficult to know which subgroups of the population have low risks of adverse consequences from breakthrough infection or reinfection, nor is it established that such subgroups exist, to begin with. People of all ages can develop debilitating Long COVID following SARS-CoV-2 infection, even after vaccination2-4. Current evidence suggests infected adults and children are at greater risk of new onset diabetes5-7, adults are at increased risk of cardiac problems8,9 and the long-term impact on children’s cardio-vascular health is uncertain10. In addition, people can experience kidney injury11,12, liver damage13, erectile dysfunction14,15, hearing loss16-19, immune dysfunction20-23, brain and memory dysfunction24, ocular damage25,26 and dermatological complications27,28. In fact there are few organs that SARS-CoV-2 can’t harm, largely because COVID-19 is a vascular disease29-31 with immune-mediated severity impacting multiple organs32,33. SARS-CoV-2 is an airborne virus that is transmitted via the respiratory system34, but the disease it causes is not localized to the respiratory tract35 with its multi-organ, multi-system impacts stemming from its vascular nature, the associated immune perturbation, and other systemic effects. (..) SARS-CoV-2 has been with us for three years. We are still learning how the virus affects human health, but there is already overwhelming and clear evidence it can have lasting impacts on almost every organ as well as the immune system."

Largest U.S. hospital owner accused in lawsuit of endangering staff during coronavirus pandemic

cross-posted from: https://szmer.info/post/557928

Grupa pracowników ochrony zdrowia pozwała szpital o to że nie zapewnił im masek i innych środków ochrony przed pandemią.

W Polsce też by się takie pozwy przydały, w przychodniach nie nosi już masek nikt. No ale nie ma nakazu, więc narażanie ludzi jest ok... Nie wiem jak to wyglądałoby w Polsce pod względem prawnym.

"A group of health workers and their union sued the nation's largest hospital chain, accusing an HCA Healthcare medical center of recklessly endangering staff and patients by violating federal coronavirus guidance on protective equipment."

1 na 5 lekarzy z long COVIDEm musiało przestać pracować lub zmniejszyć ilość godzin pracy

Jak już wszyscy lekarze będą mieć long COVID, nie będzie komu leczyć ludzi. Będzie cudnie. Więc już w ogóle żadnych masek, nigdy, nigdzie a na co to po co. A tak w ogóle to COVID jest łagodny, a long COVID nie istnieje /sarkazm
