Hospitalization for COVID-19 linked to greater risk of later readmission or death

The analysis showed that, compared to the general population, people who had been hospitalized for COVID-19 and lived for at least one week after discharge had twice the overall risk of hospital readmission or death in subsequent months. They also faced nearly five times the risk of death from any cause.

Overall, these findings align with other research showing increased risks of subsequent health issues for people who have had COVID-19. The authors suggest these risks could be mitigated by policies to increase monitoring of COVID-19 patients after discharge and to raise awareness of potential complications.

Hospitalization for COVID-19 linked to greater risk of later readmission or death

A large study conducted in England found that, compared to the general population, people who had been hospitalized for COVID-19—and survived for at least one week after discharge—were more than twice as likely to die or be readmitted to the hospital in the next several months. Krishnan...

Tracks with what was reported earlier:

The true number of deaths from the Covid pandemic in the US is probably being undercounted, due to the long-lasting and little-understood effects of Covid infection and other deadly complications that surged during the past two years.

“We are seeing right now the highest death rates we have ever seen in the history of this business,” J Scott Davison, CEO of insurance company OneAmerica, told journalists on 30 December.

Previous crises pale in comparison to the pandemic, Davison said. “A one-in-200-year catastrophe would be a 10% increase over pre-pandemic [levels]. So 40% is just unheard of.”

Many of the deaths aren’t counted in the official Covid tally, he said, because they happen months after Covid infections. “The deaths that are being reported as Covid deaths greatly understate the actual death losses among working-age people from the pandemic. It may not all be Covid on their death certificates, but deaths are up in just huge, huge numbers.”

“We’re seeing the statistics get written as we go, almost,” Micah Pollak, associate professor of economics at Indiana University Northwest, said. And high rates of mortality and disability will only continue as more people get infected, he said.

“We really don’t know what the tail of this thing looks like,” Pollak said of long Covid. “The further you get out [from infection], the longer time you have to potentially develop some kind of complications.”

The high rates of death have not surprised him, Pollak said, given the equally high rates of cases and the unknown effects of a novel virus.

“There’s just so much evidence of these long-term effects of Covid that I naturally assumed people realized that, hey, we’re gonna see probably a lot of deaths down the road – not necessarily soon after infection, but indirectly as a result of infection, as well as not just deaths but disability.”

Scientists write on why science is difficult to discuss in "online communities" : https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abo0668

Rules of scientific discourse and the systematic, objective, and transparent evaluation of evidence are fundamentally at odds with the realities of debates in most online spaces (11) Consequently, scientists are at a distinct disadvantage—especially during everything- goes-type social media clashes—as some of the very few participants in public debates whose professional norms and ethics dictate that they prioritize reliable, cumulative evidence over persuasive power (12).

Best place to know from beginning to the latest about coronavirus is its subreddit in Reddit. That's from where I read a lot during lockdowns.

I'd advise against going there now. As vaccination number went up and people started going 'back to normal' in real life, most members who remained on the subreddit seem to be conspiracy theorist type idiots.

If there's any news worth knowing about COVID-19, it will pop up on science and news subs.
 
Now that Covid19 is over and everybody wants to forget those miserable two years, the most trusted scientific organization everybody eagerly look at for guidance reached a conclusion. Covid19 spreads through air !

Why the WHO took two years to say COVID is airborne

Early in the pandemic, the World Health Organization stated that SARS-CoV-2 was not transmitted through the air. That mistake and the prolonged process of correcting it sowed confusion and raises questions about what will happen in the next pandemic.

It's quite bvious what's going on.

The Chinese got a get out of jail card in exchange for performing experiments deemed too dangerous or illegal in the US.

They have to share the findings.

I don't know if its over or just regrouping to come back in a more virulent form. Let's have a couple more years of no lock down then it will be clear.

I was surprised to find no lockdown this year in the dry season. People do behave as if its over.
