COVID Halloween?

After months of steep drops, California's new weekly coronavirus infections and hospitalizations have leveled off ahead of the important holiday season. The state's coronavirus transmission rate has long been among the lowest in the country, and officials hope vaccine requirements and other safety precautions will keep another surge in cases and fatalities from happening this winter. But when Halloween approaches, a busy fall and winter calendar will beckon many citizens to travel and congregate in large numbers not seen since the epidemic began. When you add in colder weather forcing people to stay inside, where there's a greater risk of infection, and the fact that COVID-19 appears to be seasonal on its own, there's reason for concern.

33% Of COVID Patients Could Become Long Haulers

Women, older individuals, and persons with severe illness in the early phase of a SARS-CoV-2 infection were found to be more likely to experience long COVID symptoms according to the study. According to the researchers' findings, almost 37% of patients had at least one sign of long COVID 3–6 months after contracting SARS-CoV-2 virus. To read more, Click Here

COVID Long Haulers Getting Paralyzed

COVID infections can last for months, and one-third of patients remain sick after a month to fourteen months. Although memory loss and lung damage are typical symptoms, other severe and debilitating illnesses have the ability to completely disfigure people from their usual activities. The underlying cause of long COVID is still unknown. Cells in the "gray matter" area of the brain, on the other hand, can still be attacked and destroyed to a point where a person becomes immobile after a long-hauler has been cleared of virus.

Brain Damage From COVID Long Haulers?

According to a University of Oxford study in Indianapolis, 37% of persons who previously caught the coronavirus still have at least one COVID-19 symptom three to six months after recovering.
