Articles like this are IMO an issue. The headline focus’s on long Covid symptoms that are very real, there’s somewhat of a skeleton in the closet here, this lady is not healthy, she was not “healthy and active” prior to Covid and that health picture helped contribute massively in the fact she landed into ICU on intubation. My elderly grandmother is healthy and active for her age, she would be within 10kg of her “ideal” body weight Would this lady be suffering long Covid if she was in a better overall health picture? I’m not posting this to be some kind of fat shaming asshat, but the fact that Obesity is one of if not the leading contributor to mortality relating to Covid. It’s time to stop skirting the underlying issues, it will be people in this health position that will be vulnerable with waning vaccine protections and future variants that are a matter of when rather than if. |
