1/Extremely healthy young person frequently blacks out and wets himself 2 years after having Covid—a year after recovering—as we have reported at Enemy In A state before: a Dr on the frontline has nothing a massive increase in people passing out since Covid started.
3/

Speaking to the Metro, the person who did not wish to be identified, but called 'Leo' for the sake of the interview, spoke about how his life has been destroyed by Covid, with a range of disturbing and disabling symptoms starting a year after infection:
4/

Th usual story here, in good healthy, young etc, catches Covid has a rough time of it—hospital fobbed him off despite the fact he couldn't breathe—his first blackout started when he had Covid in March 2020:
'The problem became so bad he now has to work from home permanently and has had to have a heart monitor fitted that will be monitored by doctors for three years.'
6/
Leo:

‘I came back from a French ski resort where I had been on a stag do. It happened within five days of returning. I went to bed that night feeling fine. I got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, and as I stood up I lost consciousness. I just blacked out...
7/

..When I came around, I was face-down on the carpet, drenched in sweat. I got back in to bed, I had no idea what was wrong.’
8/

'I called 111 at one point because I was feeling like I was starting to struggle to breathe, but they kind of said, “You sound like you’re alive”, and didn’t send an ambulance or anything.

‘Eventually, I got through it. And I was fine. At least at first.’
9/

After spending three months recovering from Covid he went back to work.

Then over a year later while at work he suddenly passed out at work:
10/

Leo:

'It was a normal morning, nothing out of the ordinary, and just like that – like the flick of a switch – the lights just went out and I lost consciousness at my desk’

and:

‘When I came around, I was covered in sweat again and just felt really quite awful.’
11/

A few months go by and he passes out at work again and wets himself this time too:
12/

As we know Covid has nuero-invasive properties, and the virus causes brain shrinkage etc. Virus has been found to persists in organs months after infection.
13/

Leo:

'Then in November just gone, pretty much the exact same thing happened at work again, except this time I had urinary incontinence as well. '

'Then it happened again four days later while I was sat at the kitchen table.’
14/

Whole thing has ruined his life, can't get a proper diagnosis, now has to work from home, can't do sports anymore (obviously)
15/

His cardiologist said his 'strange symptoms' could be related to Covid.

'He said he was starting to see similar patterns in other patients'
16/

His cardiologist told him that there appears to be alink between people who've had covid and 'weird nervous system problems.'
17/
‘Initially, he thought he was imagining things. But the more time goes on the more he is certain there’s a direct link between people who had Covid badly at the start of the pandemic, and people who are now presenting with weird nervous system problems. '
18/

‘He referenced another patient of his, a 30-year-old guy, who was like a big runner, really into his fitness. Now, when he goes through a run, he will come home and his heart rate will stay at 140 beats a minute for the next three hours.'
A lot of Drs have noticed these massive increases in strange symptoms—not reported to the public because they don't want to 'scare people' —the Dr who spoke to me didn't have that porblem as it's clearly right to wanr people
19/

Ruined the man's life:

‘The concerning thing for me is how long it takes for me to recover after I have an episode,’ says Leo. ‘It’s not like I black out and then feel fine in an hour, I get groggy and drained and severely exhausted for weeks.'
20/

I spent the first half of December in bed, pretty mush sleeping for 15/16 hours a day.

‘I’m otherwise extremely fit and healthy and have never had any medical problems in my life. So obviously, something like this does rock the boat and put you on edge...
I have spent months thinking, “Oh, God, what is happening? What on earth is wrong with me?”‘

Sadly, this is happening to millions every days across the world and the UK.
22/

Drs trying to work out what's causing the blackouts so they put a chip in his heart:
23/

To be honest with you, having spent a lot around chronic illness, Long Covid is definitely one of the most disabling and destructive—just as the virus itself it targets every thing you've got.
24/

‘Before all of this, I did a huge amount of exercise. So when I’m ill and I can’t exercise I get really quite upset and frustrated,’ says Leo.

‘But this experience has made me question how much exercise I am doing, maybe I should be cutting back...
25/

.. I trade for an investment bank for a living – is that all a bit stressful, lifestyle-wise?

‘Do I need to be a bit more sensible about the intensity at which I live my life'

Leo, you're ill with a horrible disease—the capitalist system has implanted so many lies...
...about the virus and young people and only old and co-morbid at high risk and all this utter garbage, that when people are disabled by this horrific virus they have to blame themselves for the suffering they are going through—even though it's just the virus in this case
Covid is a monster, if you aren't disabled already it can disable you: fit, young, child, old, whatever. It's a beast.
When you think about Long Covid is like a mixture of MS, Parkinsons, CFS, alzheimers, and everything in between: chronic heart disease, diabetes, it just never ends with this thing: and it can strike basically at any point – year after infection in this case.
Many stories of collapsing people—happening all over now: sadly, many still have not made the links between Covid and these kinds of symptoms:

It seems that the whole country is starting to go into a form of mini lockdown: schools closing, GPs closing, hospitals closing, no doubt many other things too: and we've only just started this wave–bear that in mind. THIS IS JUST THE START.

Omicron: BA4—Looks like a new recombination sub-variant/possibly variant has been found: believed to be a recombination of BA1 and BA3 at the moment: sequences found in South Africa, US and Puerto Rico so far: Image
BA4 is here: only a few sequences have been detected so far, but this is obviously going to be a massive undercount. Image
Now that the recombinations are coming thick and fast much has been said about the 'inevitability' of such hybrids: however, for some reason the focus is only ever on Sars 2 variants breeding with each other: Image

Shane Warne heart attack death update: Cricketeer had Covid TWICE—Health Professor indicates that Covid could well be implicated in the sudden and unexpected death:

'Covid-19 causes a major shift in cardiovascular risk markers.' Image
Warne had Covid twice and was vaccinated: he said of the second bout which happened months after the first one in August:

“It was only like a little flu the second time,”
Much has been made to dismiss Warne's death since it happened:w/many claiming it was mainly due to poor lifestyle choices:the average of age of death of a male in Aus as of OECD metrics from 2018 is 80.7 years old:meaning that Warne died some 28.7 years earlier than average: Image
