The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

[Cooterpoot]

Nobody is paying any attention to the death rate anymore because the treatments have gotten so much better. It's the hospitalization rates, the amount of time spent in the hospital, and the lingering effects of the virus after you're "cured" that people are worrying about.

I read where like 40% of hospitalized people have lingering effects. And like 90% of those people already had underlying issues. So the lingering effects is pretty limited beyond some minor things like a cough.
Anyone with lung scarring will have issues from now on. Stroke victims too. I had a still unidentified virus that hit me 20+ years ago (At Ft. Sam Houston) that left my lungs scarred and a constant cough. Lymph node, colon, and tendon issues too. Most of my family caught it (spread like wildfire) but it wasn't as hard on them. I suspect the bad Covid patients will deal with similar issues.
It's also why I made sure my will and insurance was in order when this stuff hit. Damn near died 20 years ago.
