This makes sense, it is being reported the virus attacks the entire vascular system.

[shockey80]

This would explain the heart attacks, strokes, blood clots. It would explain why people with pre-existing conditions die at a high rate. People with high blood pressure, diabetes, etc.

This virus is bad news. Even if you survive it may damage your health in ways we don't understand yet.

1. If it doesn't kill you now it still reduces your life span.

[2naSalit]

2. And probably a painful existence

dealing with the after effects.

[rurallib]

3. The after effects of this virus will be long lasting in our society

It will be painful and expensive. The idiots who are so openly defiant don't know what they re asking for.
What the shame is is that they will be passing it on to innocent people, especially youngsters who will be forced into little incubators of disease next month known as school classrooms.

5. This is what a lot people don't understand.

This is a new virus. The doctors are still learning about the virus, it takes time. We don't know the long term effects of this virus.

If we find out there are serious long term effects from this virus, we could be looking a decades long catastrophe. That's why Trump and Republican governors are out of their minds, letting this virus spread.

4. And yet we can read news reports where kids are having CoVid-19 parties to intentionally....

see who can catch it first. All to win the pot of money they all ante up for.

At 73 I can easily admit to doing some stupid things but I didn't play Russian Roulette with a loaded gun.

Covid-19 parties sure seem like a Russian Roulette party will less blood if you lose.

[Maru Kitteh]

7. Oh there's plenty of blood in your lungs to drown in

when you lose.

[usaf-vet]

9. Agreed! As a former medic I should have been clearer, less visible blood. I'll leave it there.

[Mariana]

11. Those stories consisted of officials repeating rumors they'd heard.

There's no evidence that any such parties organized by young people actually took place.

There have also been stories about parents organizing Covid parties for their children, and stories about churches putting on Covid parties for their youth members.

6. My youngest daughter in FL has a RARE disorder called Behcet's syndrome

that is, primarily, an inflammatory disorder of the vascular system.

I AM TERRIFIED for her. - every. single. day.

8. The likelihood is high you'll survive. Only to have what?

A physical condition that prevents you from living your life.

You are right. The best outcome is to avoid getting it.

[PatSeg]

10. And on top of that,

it was reported that so-called asymptomatic people can have lung damage, even though they don't appear to be ill. 67% of asymptomatic people who were x-rayed showed lung damage. We still don't know what the long term damage of this virus will be.

[Ligyron]

12. Ask me, a quick bullet to the head may actually be preferable to a slow, agonizing death.

The kind of lingering death caused by some of those physical problems Covid could trigger besides the respiratory distress.
