A study of more than 87,000 COVID-19 patients found that recovered patients face about a 60% increased risk of death from long-term complication of the virus in the 6 months of the initial infection compared to people who never tested positive.
Some of the fatal illness that occurred after a COVID-19 infection were:
· Heart failure
· Stroke
· Chronic kidney disease
If there was no death then there was a discovery of health issues of:
· Hairloss
· Heart palpitations
· Anemia
· Acid reflux
· Organ damage
The study demonstrates that up to six months after a COVID-19 diagnosis, the risk of death following even a mild case is not trivial and increases with disease severity.
