THREAD: For those still claiming the “longterm effects” are unique to #covid19 haven’t been paying attention to other viral illnesses. Let’s take a look: 1/ erj.ersjournals.com/content/45/5/1…
Many viral illnesses including flu can cause longterm issues. 2/ nature.com/articles/s4159…
Ground glass opacity is not a new term. It has been seen with flu. It’s important to understand this can be acute and resolve within months. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
Influenza can damage the lungs though. sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/…
Chronic fatigue can be long lasting after other viral illnesses 5/ medicalnewstoday.com/articles/32661…
Influenza A can cause longterm neurological issues. 6/ jneurosci.org/content/38/12/…
H1N1 found some cardiomyopathy after infection 7/ ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
And don’t forget influenza can be a beast. People have lived with it forever so we don’t think much of it. But many issues can happen according to the CDC. 8/ cdc.gov/flu/symptoms/s…
So please, take a minute to educate yourself and make sure you aren’t passing hyperbole rather than fact. #flattenthefear 9/end
