1/Sharing some small research publications suggesting Sars2 may be causing subclinical organ damage in our children. Please note these R small pilot studies, results need confirming in larger trials & the Diabetes study is epidemiological so correlation doesn’t prove causation…
2/ all that being said….these are our CHILDREN & their long term future health we talking about. While clearly these study findings require further exploration, surely the precautionary principle should apply while we research more into these findings? #CleanAirInSchools…
7/ So so far we have some early pilot studies suggesting Sars2 *may* be causing subclinical organ damage in lungs, hearts, blood vessels & pancreas of kids. These findings obviously need confirming in larger trials, however surely we need IPC in schools while we research this?
@pamelarbishop 1/ Hi Pam, I’ve been tagged into this tweet. As a cardiologist I have seen a fair few femoral vascular injuries. As a Long Covid doctor & member of #TeamClots I have some understanding of the underlying pathophysiology of abnormal clotting in LC (but not the expertise of some of

Continuing on todays theme of Post-Covid cardiovascular complications, I’ve had several messages from individuals who are suffering from racing heart rates after Covid - thought I should post a general thread (not specific medical advice which I can’t give over internet) about….
….post Covid dysautonomia. Racing heart rates after Covid are commonly described. These often very fast palpitations can be very disability, make you feel breathless, shaky and lightheaded, especially on standing and can be frightening….
…..the cause of these palpitations should be investigated as they can happen for different reasons. Broadly speaking, after Covid (ie not the acute infectious stage) they are most likely caused by either dysautonomia or dyssrhythmia, although there are other causes….
