New study of 60 #COVID19 patients finds 55% were still displaying neurological symptoms during follow-up visits 3 months later. When compared brain scans to controls, brains of COVID patients showed changes that correlated w/ memory loss & smell loss. https://t.co/S3kowPUlgX

note that though this was published by The Lancet, all the authors are Chinese in Shanghai and I therefore presume the participants of the study were Chinese

In reply to Covid Europarty scene

Philip Oltermann, did we need this cluster bomb of self projection, historical metaphorical nonsense, mind reading en masse, tribal categorizing, and cheap political shot? Somebody should tweet him 'bout it:

"It has also revealed a strain of puritanism among people who thought themselves tolerant liberals ....nothing has enraged us more during lockdown than seeing people having fun in large numbers."

A renown AP foreign correspondent once said "My job is to tell people what happened, not what to think."

In reply to Fauci warns to dig in for a

Thread comparing NYC & Madrid--where, like Fauci warns, indoor restaurant dining definitely looks like one of the things that make a big difference. (Also a personal note-out and about today in da Bronx, it was busy, and everyone and I mean everyone, was still wearing a mask, even babies and the nastiest looking homie types):

1/
Look at the shape of these curves.

New York and Madrid had similar epidemics until they spectacularly diverged.

In March, both cities were caught by surprise and shut down because of #COVID19.

In September, the situation is under control in NY and alarming in Madrid.

PROVEN: Kids do get infected at day care centers. Kids do transmit to others and do bring the coronavirus home to family members. #COVID19 https://t.co/cunHZ5Bc2W

Fauci warns to dig in for a long haul (also suggesting indoor restaurant dining is for fools):

“If you’re talking about getting back to a degree of normality which resembles where we were prior to Covid, it’s going to be well into 2021, maybe even towards the end of 2021,” Fauci said. https://t.co/vG54wMVeaD

*was* the strongest. People have this weird impression that you get stronger by fighting off a disease, but almost invariably weakens you, in this case probably taking years off his life.

That said, I'm wondering if the % that's getting long-term damage is staying the same (over here I see no anecdotal articles about people's long fight & different afflictions it causes like I see from the U.S.

Surviving 80 days in the ICU = not for sissies

After 106 days (26 of those days on ECMO and 80 in the ICU), our friend, colleague, and star Nephrology fellow @NyanPyae6 walked out of the hospital after surviving Covid-19. He is by far the strongest person I have ever known. pic.twitter.com/LIpJkXEyLx
