Said it hit him like a Mack truck, but only lasted a couple of days other then shortness of breath that has lasted weeks. Some how his wife and daughter have dodged both times.

He got it twice? (Just making sure I'm reading correctly.)

Here's the most recent thing I've read on the subject, which contains links to the studies:

Basically what I've read too. Too soon to know if any long lasting effects. Got to think there will be some for people who were sick though

Definitely still early in the game. But the thing that stuck out to me about that heart study is the age of the patients (average age 49), the prevalence and type of lingering effects (60-80% had lasting effects on their hearts that they didn't know about before getting MRIs in the study), and the fact that two-thirds of the test subjects had mild enough COVID symptoms that they recovered at home.

Man, how crappy is that? Recover from mild COVID like a champ only to find out months later that your heart's inflamed? Eff that, dude.

Yea I saw one study that showed mild scarring in totally asymptomatic people. But I also saw one that showed a large decrease in scar tissue after being off the vent for 3 months, signaling at least some people's issues subside with time.

That's pretty big news. Will be interesting to see how that turns out for them.

Its easy to cure COVID when you just "disappear" the people who've got it, lol.

Yeah it certainly could. False positives would have to be considered though. Who knows? If you can get it twice in a few months though, a vaccine would need a booster shot about the same.

Not really. That’s anecdotal evidence. Could be a wild mutation. False positive the first or second time. Flu. Common cold. A number of things.

Most medical folks believe the virus lingers in some and it's not two separate deals.

He was symptomatic each time - so no false positives.

Lots of viruses can do that, so it wouldn't be surprising.

Since they probably created it, makes it easier to create a vaccine.
