Coronavirus COVID-19 Pandemic

Or WA, which locked down every time and we're basically COVID free.

 

Trust me, the fucking up in NSW is entirely because our leadership was critical of lockdowns and hesitated to do so when it was necessary.

They've now done a complete 180 on the subject and pretend that they have always supported such measures.

Meanwhile, our vaccine supply is getting redirected all over the place in clear displays of favouritism for specific regions within NSW.

It's a bloody mess, and my family is stuck in the middle of it.

 

Let’s not forget the antivaxxer issue, too, RE Australia…

 

That’s the point where you give up. There is no combination of words you can use that will break through the protective shell of stupidity they’ve built around themselves.

 

On the one hand, today the FDA finally gave formal (non-provisional) approval for a Covid vaccine.

On the other hand, apparently there's an associated risk of decreased cognitive ability if you have had the virus: https://www.researchhub.com/paper/1...ts-in-people-who-have-recovered-from-covid-19

... and the last thing we need right now is a widespread reduction in cognitive abilities.

Is there any ill afteraffect this damned virus doesn't have?

It's the fucking Ginzu knife of disease.

 

Oxygen deprivation is bad for a lot of human parts.

 

Essentially this. COVID tends to attack any weakness in the human body, even if said weakness was too minor to be causing symptoms (yet). Of course, after COVID, it will be.

 

Regular diseases can also have fun amount of complications.

"Pneumonia is a serious flu complication that can result from either influenza virus infection alone or from co-infection of flu virus and bacteria. Other possible serious complications triggered by flu can include inflammation of the heart (myocarditis), brain (encephalitis) or muscle (myositis, rhabdomyolysis) tissues, and multi-organ failure (for example, respiratory and kidney failure). Flu virus infection of the respiratory tract can trigger an extreme inflammatory response in the body and can lead to sepsis, the body’s life-threatening response to infection. Flu also can make chronic medical problems worse. For example, people with asthma may experience asthma attacks while they have flu, and people with chronic heart disease may experience a worsening of this condition triggered by flu."

Just in case of covid anything like that gets reported, unlike with flu.

So this is nothing very unusual.


Tooth infection can cause ( https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/ar...nfection-spreading-to-body#signs-and-symptoms ) :

Osteomyelitis: An infection of the bone surrounding the tooth.

Cavernous sinus thrombosis: An infection of the blood vessels within the sinuses.

Cellulitis: An infection of the skin and fat directly beneath the skin.

Parapharyngeal abscess: An abscess at the back of the mouth.

Sepsis: A serious medical condition in which the immune system severely overreacts to an infection in the blood.

(yes, untreated tooth infection can kill you)

 

Well, yes, although pneumonia -- a generic term for any inflammation of certain parts of the lungs -- probably wasn't the best example. Similarly, most of the tooth infection complications you listed were simply the infection spreading.

 

In general any infection will cause damage by infection spreading, what exactly happens with COVID.

Other typical issues will be overreaction of immune system (but sepsis was listed), or by spreading of toxic products of ongoing infection or consequences of nonfunctional body part.

Main things is that COVID is not unusual here, other infections will also produce long list of unpleasant consequences. COVID is not unusual here, as far as serious diseases go. Still, it is serious disease - but not some magic or unprecedented in variety of consequences.

Note: I am not a medical professional, you are reading COVID thread on a porn site (and I would claim that you cannot verify my expertise anyway)

Note2: If long covid is appearing often and/or serious we are fucked, given how many people went through it.

 

But it's not. COVID causes clotting. A lot of the damage we're seeing -- outside the lungs, anyway -- is essentially the result of diffuse mini-strokes throughout the body. It's not quite up to the level of disseminated intravascular coagulation, but it's there.

There's also the fever issue. I haven't seen much on this being a specific problem with COVID, many other illnesses have been known to cause problems simply because the victim's fever got so high that it's literally cooked their organs alive. This is actually a special case of one of the other common ways for illnesses to cause issues in places other than the site of infection: via the body's own immune response.

A specific form of this is blatantly an issue with COVID (specifically, so-called cytokine storms), but the damage is generally focused on the site of infection (in COVID, the lungs).

I could continue, but the fact of the matter is that your model there is oversimplified at best.

Spoiler: Also, Memes

 

On the upside it's not as transferrable as Delta

 

Is it okay if I made a thread about what if COVID was ten times more deadlier?

 

Have to agree, I don't come to QQ to read about depressing shit like that.

 

Sorry, have some depressing shit anyway: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...spitals-full-icus-turn-away-covid/8281712002/

That's about a guy who died of a cardiac arrest because the 47 ICUs in his area were full.

Spoiler: Memes Make It Better

 

Got my first shot today.

China vaccine since that's what they bring here, and what can ya do.

 

Goit my second dose of Moderna today. Thank fuck this is over, but I'm not gonna be complacent about it.

 

Just got back from my second shot finally, i think i'll just spend the day with my dog now.

 

I didn't have any reactions whatsoever. I didn't even feel tired in the slightest.

 

Even in the SFW general section I can't post it? Or That is SHOULDN'T?

 

If I do so will there be any negative consequences that the moderators would do to me on this matter?

 

If you're seriously asking this then you should send a PM to a moderator and not ask random non-mods in random threads.
