Long term effects of COVID-19 are still unknown. Researchers are trying to reveal something considering history of the other viruses, SARS and MERS-CoV. Day by day new symptoms are coming before us through the press release of the WHO. A new symptom-the partial or total loss of the sense of taste and smell- is already known to all. Some infected people reported problem in respiratory system and some reported gut issues and problems with their kidneys. Potential loss of immune system is also noted which may lead to multi-organ failure. In this backdrop, will the aftermath effect of COVID-19 on human body be more fatal?
Doctor said a patient infected with coronavirus can suffer from various problems for a long time even after recovery. This long-term effect of corona can be divided into physical and mental. Therefore, he suggested maintaining communication with doctors and taking care/treatment of physical and probable mental disorder even after recovery.
Dear, pathology aside I think that by now having ascertained the presence of thromboembolic alterations the pathology can potentially create permanent damage in every district of the organism. To evaluate the definitive nature of the lesions (especially the nervous ones) we will have to wait months and see if and how the patients will be able to recover.
Same virus, different effect, Md. Mahabubur Rahman , that is what is coming out.
This is preliminary apprehension that the effect of coronavirus even after recovery may be fatal though manifestations of the aftermath effect are still unknown. So, you Matteo Nioi have rightly said that we have to wait for moths and follow up the patients after their recovery. Thank you for adding some valuable information.
Yes, as a layman I have also observed that there is the fallacy. The world community is in a fix because of this reason, the changing characters of the virus. As it is changing its direction and characteristics, the researchers cannot follow it. Mr Kheepe Lawrence Moremi you have stated the situation very nicely in a single sentence. Thank you very much for this en-lighting comments.
The eyes can also be affected by the COVID-19 virus, potentially leading to consequences for eyesight or eye health.
We see apprehension as well as discussion has just been started among the experts and researchers all over the world. Dimensions of the problem are yet to be seen or observed. Yes, dear Pietro Emanuele Napoli eye health may be one of the concerns during or after the corona pandemic.
Considering in Japan, the serious infection is not indicated. Last week, there was no death due to the corona virus in Japan. Usually, influenza virus is more serious than the COVID-19 virus. In USA, more than 60,000 people were died because of the influenza. Therefore, it is assumed that the COVID-19 virus has lost the preliminary devastating effect in nowadays and this is good sign as well. We hope for the betters are coming.
We are always hopeful even amid this pandemic. It will be a joyous matter for the world community if there is any official declaration that the corona virus has lost its preliminary devastating effect. There are sayings from different individuals that corona has lost its devastating effect. Is there any comment/observation from WHO, John Hopkins University? Do less infections just in number is the final proof for less effect? However, dear Md. Rabiul Awual we want to be optimistic. Thanks for such insightful brief.
May be . Bacause from the ist day of Viral infection to still now the mutation is very prominant and stronger - https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/international/world-news/almost-third-of-covid-19-samples-show-mutation-but-not-more-severe-disease-who/articleshow/76776274.cms
Thank you dear Isam Alkhalifawi for your very short and straight answer. Actually, something we always want that is beneficial to us and evil things are always unbecoming to us. It could be a matter of relief for us if everybody could say it as straight as you said. BUT there are views in favor of the statement opposing your answer. AND that is why probably we have to wait for few more days or even moths until we get answers from the dependable organizations like WHO. However, let’s hope for the best.
Covid-19 is unique indeed for its multifarious characters e.g. sometimes it has few severe symptoms, moderate symptoms and sometimes no symptoms. It falls in the earth as droplets within 1m to 2m. It is airborne and so on. So far, six groups of coronary heart disease symptoms were identified that really beyond any speculations. The rate and number of deaths are fluctuating over the world, number of infected people also fluctuating. Obviously, there are valid or hidden reasons for such fluctuations. Somewhere, the infection is going zero and again starts afresh. One more dangerous thing has been added with our concerns that is the antibody created in the body of infected person is not permanent. Moreover, today the world is seeing the highest number of infection in 24 hours and the number is really stunning because its 2,60,000. So, everyday people have to change their resolution. As for example, yesterday we had an agreement that the COVID-19 virus has lost the preliminary devastating effect in nowadays. But today we see the record in number of infection. Therefore, dear Md. Rabiul Awual actually the Covid-19 is still unpredictable, isn’t it?
Since COVID-19 was only discovered a few months ago, its long-term effects are unknown, and while researchers are trying to look at parallels with two other coronaviruses, SARS and MERS-CoV, it will take time to have a full picture of the longer-term consequences of infection with COVID-19.
It’s now clear that the coronavirus doesn’t just attack the respiratory system, and some people have reported gut issues and problems with their kidneys. Severe COVID-19 patients have experienced what’s called a ‘cytokine storm’ in which the body’s immune system goes into a potentially fatal overdrive and leads to multi-organ failure. This has also been seen with influenza, SARS and MERS-CoV.

I think yes, I know many that have died a few weeks after the infection due to thrombosis in the lung , heart or brain
