    What doesn't kill you makes you stronger

    Heart scans of Covid-19 patients show range of abnormalities | Medical research | The Guardian

    Heart scans of coronavirus patients in hospital have revealed a range of abnormalities that can disrupt the ability to pump blood and in severe cases lead to a life-threatening failure in the organ.

    Doctors at Edinburgh University examined ultrasound scans known as echocardiograms from more than 1,200 patients in 69 countries and found heart problems in 55%, with one in seven exhibiting signs of “severe abnormalities”.

    The scans found damage to the ventricles – the two main chambers of the heart – in more than a third of the patients, while 3% had experienced heart attacks and a further 3% had inflamed heart tissue. The majority had no known heart disease before the scans were done.
    Warning of serious brain disorders in people with mild coronavirus symptoms | World news | The Guardian

    Doctors may be missing signs of serious and potentially fatal brain disorders triggered by coronavirus, as they emerge in mildly affected or recovering patients, scientists have warned.

    Neurologists are on Wednesday publishing details of more than 40 UK Covid-19 patients whose complications ranged from brain inflammation and delirium to nerve damage and stroke. In some cases, the neurological problem was the patient’s first and main symptom.
    Covid-19 can damage lungs of victims beyond recognition, expert says | World news | The Guardian

    Covid-19 can leave the lungs of people who died from the disease completely unrecognisable, a professor of cardiovascular science has told parliament.

    It created such massive damage in those who spent more than a month in hospital that it resulted in “complete disruption of the lung architecture”, said Prof Mauro Giacca of King’s College London.

    In findings that he said showed the potential for “real problems” after survival, he told the Lords science and technology committee that he had studied the autopsies of patients who died in Italy after 30 to 40 days in intensive care and discovered large amounts of the virus persisting in lungs as well as highly unusual fused cells.

            I know it's very hard to tell any difference but the Covid might have fecked Boris in the head.
            Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.

                Sounds like you are overreacting to a low risk Dim, Boris is correct!

                  You've obviously not clicked on many of their dispassionate sources and their medical background.

                  Links to the Daily Mail.
                  "InProportion2", which has in the about section: I am a concerned citizen from the UK, .... I am neither a scientist nor medic.
                  Or just circular references to themselves.
                  They like to embellish links - in one they add the word "serious", but the article linked to talks about any, not just serious.
                  …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore
