"I ended up in hospital before the Laver Cup [in September] when I had a fever of 40 degrees Celsius for three days in a row and at some point I felt like I couldn't breathe," [tennis star Zverev] said after his win in the ATP Finals opener [in Turin] on Monday.
"Zverev has been suffering from the effects of a pneumonia for some time, complaining of fever and cough at the Laver Cup in Berlin in September." [2024]
"[Zverev] subsequently [after pneumonia] withdrew from the China Open in Beijing and failed to reach the round of 16 at the Shanghai Masters, but won the Paris Masters earlier this month." [to note, world number 1 Sinner withdrew from Paris because of a "virus"]
"I'm getting tired a bit more quicker. But I'm feeling okay. Which doesn't mean that my longs are 100% but right now I feel fit again," Zverev said after the 6-4, 6-4 win against Andrey Rublev." [Rublev also suffered from a severe infection last spring, reportedly hospitalized]
"Zverev had previously said that he expects to be 100% fit for the Australian Open next January." after suffering from pneumonia in late September 2024. He is currently playing the ATP Finals in Turin, which appears affected by a "virus" going around among players

This are research and reports of research showing #LongCovid can kill just as examples. Note how it was/is scientifically and publicly accepted LC can be fatal. From 2023

Yet another study indicates COVID-19 could lead to "significant increase in the risk of dyslipidemia, a condition characterized by abnormal lipid levels in the blood."

#LongCovid

insideprecisionmedicine.com/topics/patient…
"The research, which analyzed data from more than 200,000 adults, found that the risk of developing dyslipidemia rose by 29% during the pandemic." [given what we know about Covid and sequelae, SARS-CoV-2 infection must be scrutinised in depth in relation to dyslipidaemia]
“Given the extent of the pandemic, this increase in dyslipidemia risk is a cause for concern around the world,” said study leader Gaetano Santulli, MD, PhD. “Based on our findings, we would advise people to have their lipid levels monitored regularly" and seek adequate advice

"A blood clot had travelled to Micah’s lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism. His heart had stopped beating and they couldn’t revive him."

A little boy caught Covid in 2022 and never recovered, with his mother fighting in vain for care

#LongCovid

"Micah’s story casts light on how parents, especially mothers, are frequently patronised and dismissed by the medical profession. “I can’t think of any other way to describe it besides gaslighting,” Keri-Sue says when [she speaks with the journalist].
"On 14 October 2022, Keri-Sue and Dan were due to be married. But their son, who had turned three just 12 days before, woke them up in the night, burning with fever."

"Adverse sequelae [in #LongCovid] may range from chest pain, arrhythmias to heart failure (HF), myocardial infarction or sudden cardiac death. The potential for cardiac injury secondary to [LC] must be considered in the preoperative cardiac examination"
degruyter.com/document/doi/1…
The paper is a literature review that adds "to the growing body of literature exploring postacute cardiovascular outcomes of COVID-19, with a focus on presurgical cardiac clearance in the adult patient."
The cardiovascular risk of #LongCovid should be considered pre-surgery
By reviewing existing literature on COVID cardiovascular sequelae, the paper addressed studies on chest pain, arrhythmias, hypertension, hypotension, myocarditis, pericarditis, HF / heart failure, cardiomyopathy, orthostatic intolerance, and thromboembolic events.

We know scientifically that, potentially, everyone could be at risk of severe disease in acute Covid and #LongCovid. It might not happen to everyone, of course. Some demographics might be more at risk. But you never know if it's you when you're infected. It's Russian roulette
Sportspeople are glaring evidence of the potential severe consequences of SARS-CoV-2 infection across ages and prior health statuses: among the fittest people on earth, often young and healthy, elite sportspeople are nonetheless at risk from Covid e.g.

Covid variants which can go beyond prior immunity and reinfect you, therefore, remain a risk: even if you appear to be "low risk" at first sight, or if you appear to have recovered well before. Please be careful out there
