Pre-print study (interpret cautiously) showing that even mild cases of #COVID19 can cause heart damage which may be permanent.
Trying to achieve herd immunity without a vaccine is a grave error.

In the UK there is a lot of talk about how susceptible to Covid 19 children and young people are, as we are desperate to get them back to school. (well government is, backed by the media) No one seems to be listening to concerns they could carry Covid19 and pass it on to vulnerable family members.
@zleap Information on Covid19 is complex to transfer to people, really. Desinfo, misinfo on the sickness itself and how to heal it. Imagine what's happening in African countries, e.g. WestAfrica where I live. Have doctor friends in Nigeria active on it. Have friends who got sick.
So yes, reopening schools is a big risk, reopening borders too, depending on how people are tested/tracked or not...
People here are already rejoicing "it's coming down, numbers are lower, we're safe now". Not! Wait just a little bit...
I'm rather pessimistic...
@cybeardjm We are just getting mixed and incomplete messages, which is the main issue, like i said no one has said much about children adn young people being carriers even if they don't show symptoms, and there seems to be evidence you can be infectious without ever showing symptoms.
I guess to the virus the human body is simply a host.
Also interesting that it is suggested children aged 12+ need to wear masks, so something must be happening at the biological level to our bodies at around 12, that change our reaction to the virus, other than puberty of course, or could the extra hormones released during puberty be some how affecting our bodies reaction. ?
Kinda complex question to ask on here, maybe discuss further on the discourse forum under biology. Easier to follow the discussion(s) their.
@cybeardjm There were reports on some condition, never saw a name for it.
I have a feeling we are sitting on a time bomb.
@cybeardjm I have shared on a linked in post (well as a reply as I am asking if the advice given to schools include info on this)

@cybeardjm I guess to add to all this, if water systems e.g showers are not properly cleaned and flushed it raises Legionella risk, which has very similar symptoms to Covid. But can be treated with antibiotics.
@zleap It was detected some months ago that children could get Kawasaki syndrom symptoms when infected by the virus...
