It is not over. . The number of confirmed cases worldwide has passed the 5 million mark. Health officials believe this is an underestimate and the number is higher. I totally agree. How we count cases is now being studied
There will be a second wave in infections as we rapidly open different states with the US. Other countries are cautiously reopening. Summer travel could cause another wave of infections.
There are other COVID symptoms other than cough, fever , headaches and muscle aches. There are skin rashes, diarrhea, and some kidney abnormalities. There are clotting problems which I saw within the hospital setting that cannot be explained. We usually do not see other respiratory viruses spread to other organs as COVID 19 has. This is the question I discuss and write about time and time again. Why ?
These types of symptoms caused by COVID need to be studied rigorously The skin rashes could either be the actual virus in the skin or a manifestation of the immune system reacting to the virus. I believe the latter. I also believe that these immune reaction and a cytokine storm is what is causing the clotting resulting in heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral vascular disease with the loss of limbs.
I would hope in the coming months that this could be researched and solved.
More to be revealed.
Until tomorrow…
