The coronavirus is nasty. I have encountered it in my cat rescue operation. MOST cats will catch it and MOST cats won't be affected outside of a typical flu or respiratory illness. HOWEVER, ABOUT 10-15% have a problem with it and the virus will then mutate into a horrible and most deadly disease called Feline Infectious Peritonitis which becomes obvious with symptoms months after shedding the virus. Typically this affects the young cats and the old cats or the immune compromised cats. If vaccines are given too early in cats among other factors like spay/neutering too young or other stressful events the chances it can affect them increases. Some researchers say that too many vaccines given before the cat has a chance to develop their immunity can greatly affect or kill the thymus gland which helps their system overcome such viruses. I am NOT a vet. This is just my experience. Take from it what you will. If the coronavirus was transferrable from cats to humans I would have been dead a long time ago.
The BEST thing one can do is to PREVENT catching it in the first place. Yes, social distancing is a pain but it might save your life or prevent a lifetime of misery from the after effects. DON'T LISTEN TO THESE NUTTY CONSERVATIVES OR PREACHERS who are trying to get everyone to go back to work or go to church. The 1918 Flu Pandemic (which took members of my family at the time) made a lot of people ill first time around but the following season it came back with a vengeance and killed tens of millions of people.
So what I am saying is that this Covid 19 coronavirus might possibly mutate inside a person who has contracted it into "another" disease based on their genetic makeup. As a virus it already mutates while in the general public. If it is anything like the feline coronavirus we will have a HUGE problem on our hands.
If I were YOU I would look into some of the products in my Alternative Health and Healing Board. Monolaurin, a derivative of coconuts has proven effective in killing this virus before it can take hold in your system. There are other protocols as well but at the moment the government and even internet providers are clamping down on some of these things. So for now my main advice is PREVENTION. Keep your distance. Obviously conservatives will NOT be practicing safe prevention protocol so AVOID those that don't.

For a world grappling with the new coronavirus, it’s becoming increasingly clear that even when the pandemic is over, it won't really be over.
Now doctors are beginning to worry that for patients who have survived COVID-19, the same may be true.
For the sickest patients, infection with the new coronavirus is proving to be a full-body assault, causing damage well beyond the lungs. And even after patients who become severely ill have recovered and cleared the virus, physicians have begun seeing evidence of the infection's lingering effects.
www.latimes.com/science/la-xpm-2013-mar-13-la-sci-sn-coronavirus-dpp4-20130313-story.html
In a study posted this week, scientists in China examined the blood test results of 34 COVID-19 patients over the course of their hospitalization. In those who survived mild and severe disease alike, the researchers found that many of the biological measures had “failed to return to normal.”
www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.05.20053819v1
Chief among the worrisome test results were readings that suggested these apparently recovered patients continued to have impaired liver function. That was the case even after two tests for the live virus had come back negative and the patients were cleared to be discharged.
At the same time, as cardiologists are contending with the immediate effects of COVID-19 on the heart, they're asking how much of the damage could be long-lasting. In an early study of COVID-19 patients in China, heart failure was seen in nearly 12% of those who survived, including in some who had shown no signs of respiratory distress.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32171076
When lungs do a poor job of delivering oxygen to the body, the heart can come under severe stress and may emerge weaker. That's concerning enough in an illness that typically causes breathing problems. But when even those without respiratory distress sustain injury to the heart, doctors have to wonder whether they have underestimated COVID-19's ability to wreak lasting havoc.
“COVID-19 is not just a respiratory disorder,” said Dr. Harlan Krumholtz, a cardiologist at Yale University. “It can affect the heart, the liver, the kidneys, the brain, the endocrine system and the blood system.”
medicine.yale.edu/profile/harlan_krumholz/
There are no long-term survivors of this wholly new disease: Even its first victims in China are little more than three months removed from their ordeal. And physicians have been too busy treating the acutely ill to closely monitor the progress of the roughly 370,000 people worldwide known to have recovered from COVID-19.
Still, doctors are worried that in its wake, some organs whose function has been knocked off kilter will not recover quickly, or completely. That could leave patients more vulnerable for months or years to come.
“I think there will be long-term sequelae,” said Yale cardiologist Dr. Joseph Brennan, using the medical term for a disease's downstream effects.

medicine.yale.edu/profile/joseph_brennan/
“I don’t know that for real,” he cautioned. “But this disease is so overwhelming” that some of the recovered are likely to face ongoing health concerns, he said.
Another question that could take years to answer is whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 may lie dormant in the body for years and spring back later in different form.
It wouldn't be the first virus to behave that way. After a chicken pox infection, for instance, the herpes virus that causes the illness hides quietly for decades and often emerges as the painful affliction shingles. The virus that causes hepatitis B can sow the seeds of liver cancer years later. And in the months after the West African Ebola epidemic subsided in 2016, the virus responsible for that illness was found to have taken up residence in the vitreous fluid of some of its victims' eyes, causing blindness or vision impairment in 40% of those affected.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5988239/
Given SARS-CoV-2's affinity for lung tissue, doctors quickly suspected that some recovered COVID-19 patients would sustain lasting damage to their lungs. In infections involving the coronavirus that cause severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), about one-third of recovered patients had lung impairment after three years, but those symptoms had largely cleared 15 years later. And researchers found that one-third of patients who suffered Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) had scarring of the lungs — fibrosis — that was probably permanent.

www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/mers/about/index.html
In a mid-March review of a dozen COVID-19 patients discharged from a hospital in Hong Kong, two or three were described as having difficulty with activities they had done in the past.
Dr. Owen Tsang Tak-yin, director of infectious diseases at Princess Margaret Hospital in Hong Kong, told reporters that some patients “might have around a drop of 20 to 30% in lung function” after their recovery.
www.med.cuhk.edu.hk/staff/owen-t-y-tsang
www.ajronline.org/doi/full/10.2214/AJR.20.22969
Citing the history of lasting lung damage in SARS and MERS patients, a team led by UCLA radiologist Melina Hosseiny is recommending that patients who have recovered from COVID-19 get follow-up lung scans “to evaluate long-term or permanent lung damage including fibrosis.”
scholar.google.com/citations?user=GVl9nZ8AAAAJ&hl=en
As doctors try to assess organ damage after COVID-19 recovery, there’s a key complication: Patients with disorders that affect the heart, liver, blood and lungs face a higher risk of becoming very sick with COVID-19 in the first place. That makes it difficult to distinguish COVID-19 after-effects from the problems that made patients vulnerable to begin with — especially so early in the game.
Right now, "we're all in the middle of it," said Dr. Kim Williams, a cardiovascular disease specialist at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago. "We have much more information about what happens acutely, and we’re trying to manage that.”
doctors.rush.edu/details/1728/kim-williams-sr-cardiovascular_disease-chicago-oak_park
What they do know is that when COVID-19 patients show symptoms of infection, the function of many organs is knocked off course. And when one organ begins to fail, others often follow.
Add to that chaos the force of inflammation, which flares in those with severe COVID-19. The result can do damage throughout the body, prying plaques and clots from the walls of blood vessels and causing strokes, heart attacks and venous embolisms.
Krumholtz, who organized a meeting of cardiologists to discuss COVID-19 this week, said the infection can cause damage to the heart and the sac that encases it. Some patients develop heart failure and/or arrhythmias during the disease’s acute phase.
www.acc.org/#sort=%40fcommonsortdate90022%20descending
Heart failure weakens the organ, though it can regain much of its strength with medications and lifestyle changes. Still, former COVID-19 patients can become lifelong cardiology patients.
Muddying this picture is another potential after-effect: blood abnormalities that make clots of all sorts more likely to form.
In a case report published this week in the New England Journal of Medicine, Chinese doctors described a patient with severe COVID-19, clots evident in several parts of his body, and immune proteins called antiphospholipid antibodies.
cdf.nejm.org/services/GetOnlineFirstPDF.aspx?DOI=NEJMc2007575
A hallmark of an autoimmune disease called antiphospholipid syndrome, these antibodies sometimes occur as a passing response to an infection. But sometimes they linger, causing dangerous blood clots in the legs, kidneys, lungs and brain. In pregnant women, antiphospholipid syndrome also can result in miscarriage and stillbirth.
labtestsonline.org/tests/antiphospholipid-antibodies
Brennan said that in a new disease like COVID-19, the signposts that usually guide physicians in assessing a patient’s long-term prognosis are just not there yet. “Coagulopathy,” for instance, “usually rights itself,” he said.
“But this isn’t usual.”

This possibility of lasting damage must be disseminated quickly and broadly. It will give everyone new incentive to practice social distancing. It seems then that few people are really home free after they recover from COVID-19. So what about those that show no or few symptoms? Did the body completely remove the virus or is it still there? Remember those who want to reopen the economy too soon would not want this information generally known.

The virus, like many infections, can spread to the heart causing myocarditis. Myocarditis can persist and when the heart muscle cells get infected it can cause permanent damage. Unlike some other organs in the body, once you injure heart muscle it does not repair itself. You can have permanent damage to areas of the heart even after that infection clears up. This causes the heart to change the way it pumps and overtime it will remodel the heart to try to compensate so it can still do its job. This enlargement of the heart and/or thickening of the heart walls is called Cardiomyopathy, in this case Infective Cardiomyopathy. Once the heart changes it's shape it can no longer keep up the compensation. This is the type of heart failure that you can end up getting from a result of the COVID-19. Heart failure causes a decrease in the amount of blood the heart can pump out per each beat. This means less oxygenated blood is being pumped out the the rest of the body. The heart valves can be compromised over time if the heart becomes enlarges because they may not be able to properly close they way they did allowing some blood to backwash in other chambers of the heart adding to the deterioration of the heart. These symptoms can vary from mild to severe and will almost always progress over time. There are some meds that can help and it can be monitored by a cardiologist, sometimes a pacemaker can increase the strength of the heart and heart valves can be repaired and/or replaced but later stages of heart failure can only be cured by a heart transplant. Scary stuff! From my experience, people with heart failure who regularly see their cardiologist, gets regular echocardiograms, takes all of the advice from their docs, keep a proper low sodium diet and monitor their fluid intake, take all of their meds and keep their weight down, if you do everything you're sapped to heart failure doesn't have to be a death sentence but it will most likely affect your length and quality of life.

I also remember reading ventilators are not helping. Instead use Oxygen, and encourage the patient to lay on their stomachs making me think the ventilators just put pressure on the lungs. However, the Doctor will have made his decisions based on the patient. I am surprised antihistamine is not used to help with breathing issues. I had a Rhinovirus meaning severe sinus infection and flu like symptoms and high fevers. I had a 4 day stay in the hospital. When I returned home what helped was pills for cold and flu, and Tylenol Arthritis as my joints were achy. I required a lot of bed rest and liquids, and appetite was poor. No smell or taste. So I told myself eat a lemon, the brain knows lemons are sour, so I could sense my taste buds acting on that sour. Then I drank water, and treated myself to chocolate candy to trick my taste senses again. I still don't have a lot of energy and stamina, but I think age could be a factor. Also, depressed from the isolation of family. But I call them on the phone, which does help. Cheers.

Initial research shows that the virus attaches to the hemoglobin in red blood cells, rendering those cells unable to carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Malaria does something similar, though not exactly the same. People further along with symptoms from CV19 have severe oxygen shortages and organ failures as a result. Putting them on a respirator isn't really doing anything, just pumping oxygen into the lungs when the red blood cells have no ability to deliver it anymore. The malaria drugs work against malaria by inhibiting the virus from attaching to hemoglobin. Still research to do, but initial evidence suggests the drug may be helpful as a preventative measure to save the lungs. It would not kill the virus, but it may stop lung damage from happening.

I contracted H1N1 in 2009. I was in a coma for six weeks, with collapsed lung and pneumonia. It almost killed me and an unapproved FDA drug saved my life. I have many long lasting health problems. I lost my memory and not all of it came back. My life has never been the same. I also struggle with PTSD.
They have a long road ahead of them.

Reuters reported yesterday that "South Korean officials report at least 91 patients thought cleared of the new coronavirus had tested positive again. Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said the virus may have been "reactivated" rather than the patients being re-infected. But authorities say it remains unclear what is behind the trend - and that investigations are still underway."

I think one HUGE problem doctors make while treating this virus is giving Tylenol for the fever. It's a fact that all viruses are killed by heat and a fever is the body's natural and EFFECTIVE response. If you allow the fever to take it's natural course, you'll find it breaks at about 103.5 to 104. Job done.
Most people don't know that it's a fact that Tylenol is the number one cause of liver failure in the U.S.

The conclusion is, try to stay virus free until there is a treatment or vaccine.
