COVID-19 2020 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL SEASON

From Johns Hopkins, a world respected medical center...

Can COVID-19 damage the heart?  Yes: Although COVID-19 — the disease caused by the coronavirus that’s led to the global pandemic — is primarily a respiratory or lung disease, the heart can also suffer.  

 

Cells in the lung and heart are both covered with protein molecules called angiotensin-converting enzyme 2, or ACE-2. The ACE-2 protein is the doorway that the new coronavirus uses to enter cells and multiply.

ACE-2 normally plays a favorable role in protecting tissue by being anti-inflammatory. But if the new coronavirus somehow disables those molecules, these cells may be left unprotected when the immune system springs into action.

“There are multiple mechanisms for heart damage in COVID-19, and not everyone is the same,” Michos says. Temporary or lasting damage to heart tissue can be due to several factors:

Lack of oxygen. As the virus causes inflammation and fluid to fill up the air sacs in the lungs, less oxygen can reach the bloodstream. The heart has to work harder to pump blood through the body, which can be dangerous.

Myocarditis: inflammation of the heart. The coronavirus may infect and damage the heart’s muscle tissue directly, as is possible with other viral infections, including some strains of the flu. The heart may also become damaged and inflamed indirectly by the body’s own immune system response.

Stress cardiomyopathy. Viral infections can cause cardiomyopathy, a heart muscle disorder that affects the heart’s ability to pump blood effectively. When attacked by a virus, the body undergoes stress and releases a surge of chemicals called catecholamines that can stun the heart.

Big 10 shuts down ALL fall sports out of an abundance of caution. Can't take any chances with the swimming team or the girls volleyball team. Fortunately TN girls' volleyball is in week 2.

Not being smart here but just a real question with what little facts I just dug up . Anyone on coacht that is an historian might know the answer to this but I don't.The Spanish flu pandemic just over a hundred years ago infected an estimated 500 million and killed between 20 and 50 million world wide.Some estimates go up to 100 million world wide.The united states lost an estimated 675 thousand. Now the question is simply what did we do differently to only have such a small percentage of the worlds  deaths compared to this pandemic.Or,did our government just pull a China in 1918.

Everything you copied and pasted is also caused by any lung infection- bacterial, viral, or fungal. Stress cardiomyopathy? That can be from a broken heart, dealing with a relative's death, or just stressing out in general.

Are you making the claim that the 80% of those infected with the coronavirus that have mild or no symptoms will suffer from long term heart effects?  So a virus they don't know they have is silently damaging heir heart?

Nebraska says their doctors believe it's safe to play now and are looking at options to play this fall.

No, He's making the claim that it's all Trumps fault. That's been his deal from the first post on this thread.

Obviously a number of right wing posters have had covid.

55% of coronavirus patients still have neurological problems three months later: study

Mounting evidence suggests COVID-19 could cause brain damage in adults and kids

Mounting evidence? There's zero evidence. 55% of "China Virus" patients haven't even been tested for brain damage. More FAKE NEWS. Shouldn't you be out looting and burning with the rest of your commie buddies?

And you need to remove the dogs picture from your profile. That's an insult to Black Labs.

Here's a quote from your article. Did we shut anything down in 2009? I don't recall. 

 And many people reported similar neurological symptoms after the 1889 Russian flu and the 2009 H1N1 pandemic.

You need to stop breathing.  You're a waste of oxygen.
