COVID-19 COVID-19 survivors have 60% higher risk of death and serious illness

Currently, the second wave of corona virus has hit the country. Millions of people are infected every day.  Meanwhile, not only those who are infected with corona but also those who are covid free have a higher risk of death in the next six months after infection.  This includes those who do not have to be hospitalized after being infected with a corona.  This information has come from extensive research on corona.  Outbreaks appear to be exacerbated in the coming years, according to researchers in the journal Nature.

Researchers at the University of Washington School of Medicine in the United States have also provided a list of various diseases related to Covid-19.  From this, a comprehensive picture of the long-term suffering caused by this pandemic has emerged.  Initially a respiratory illness, the virus can infect almost every organ in the body.

The study looked at 87,000 covid patients and about 5 million others who had recovered from the illness."Our study demonstrates that up to six months after diagnosis, the risk of death following even a mild case of COVID-19 is not trivial and increases with disease severity," said senior author Ziyad Al-Aly, MD, an assistant professor of medicine. "It is not an exaggeration to say that long COVID-19 -- the long-term health consequences of COVID-19 -- is America's next big health crisis. Given that more than 30 million Americans have been infected with this virus, and given that the burden of long COVID-19 is substantial, the lingering effects of this disease will reverberate for many years and even decades. Physicians must be vigilant in evaluating people who have had COVID-19. These patients will need integrated, multidisciplinary care."
