Not much is being said about the survivors , I had wrong assumed all male a full recovery like with flu / malaria etc and back to normal within 4-6 weeks
My daughter is involved in fundraising to provide rehabilitation and sports equipment , never realised how bad the effects are on mobility , are people aware of this ?
Some are left with serious life changing disability but it doesn’t seem to be being talked about much |

Wasn't aware of the mobility issues no, my sister is recovering and for her it's further damaged her lungs..
Did read last week that there are about 2000 people post covid who now have kidney damage..

My niece has just come out of ICU we having previously survived sepsis twice,she has suffered a lot and will know doubt suffer more with this she is trong but now suffers from depression and is now disabled yes it is terrible,something to be dealt with in the future but it is bigger than covid.
You see they mostly had severe problems before the virus and covid is just a symptom of something bigger |

There is a tidal wave of rehabilitation needs coming and the UK are not ready , no way near. They should be taking urgent action to provide capacity but also PPE for those who will be delivering it. |

And the mental health issues will be big, not enough in that profession and some of them talking about a tsunami of new cases post this..
An awful lot of NHS and care staff are running on adrenaline, but the ptsd when this slows down will hit in.. |

Why aren’t the government addressing this ? The main role of government / senior manager is to see ahead and plan, that way operations run smoother and don't need them meddling |

Agree but my suspicion is they are trying to deal with the now, what comes later and will require more resources for services that have been chopped in the last ten years they will muddle through with bluster and clichés..
They are not on top of it and we're late getting a grip on it so inevitable.. |

The virus attacks other organs and vital functions than the lungs - heart and circulatory system, brain and cognitive functioning, kidneys as others say etc. Totally different profile to flu, colds etc. The NHS and social care systems were deliberately fixed to not be prepared for a pandemic by this government, despite their simulations to check and priority reports detailing the issues refused public issue. We get what we vote for.
There are huge needs now to equalise care and health services and to implement creation of services for rehabilitation that have had a lower demand beforehand. It will likely need tax income changes to pay for it. |

Yes I was going to say this. The looming mental health crisis is terrifying. |

The virus isn't attacking other organs. The body is, the virus is triggering sepsis and other overreactive immune conditions such as Kawasaki disease.
For years scientists have thought sepsis has a genetic predisposition.
This is why some barely notice they've had covid19 others end up severe and critical. Catching a second time has proved fatal. It's wiping families out yet others are fine. Italy took it hard they have a dedicated facility for sepsis and northern Italy has many cases yearly above average. The data suggests that if you're susceptible to sepsis then you are at most risk.
People who have survived covid19 with minimal effect on them while being treated for cancer, their immune system shot to hell and you'd think covid19 would finish them without a doubt. This isn't the case at all.
In order to go forward with this is protecting people shielding them who have a predisposition to sepsis. Why a fit and healthy individual can die, because their body is nuking itself.
Sepsis has major effects on the whole body. Covid19 is the trigger but the largest cause of death is the bodies reaction

And in the private sector as well, we’ve been told to expect premiums to rise in the future , we currently pay $3500 per year for healthcare and expect this to double and claim limits to reduce from next year |
