Heart-disease risk soars after Covid, even with a mild case

#182Earlier quoted context omitted.
I had Delta once. Prior to it I would ride 30 miles on my bike like it was a breezy day. When I'd take breaks to vacation or whatever I could pick back up easily. A year after COVID, I'm struggling to hit 20 miles and I lose my progress easily. I'm not sure it's COVID related, but nothing else has changed in my life.
Lockdowns have also broken everyone’s regular exercise and healthy habits. On charts we all assign this to Covid, but lockdowns were an artificial, additional decision.
Lockdown was also in place for the control group so its effects should be accounted for. You could try to show a negative health effect of people in quarantine, but this is not possible if all infected are placed in quarantine.

#183And lung cancer risk soars with a few cigarettes. Stop living in fear! Accept that you are going to die at some point! Make decisions rationally and then move on and live!!!
Why move on when I can live in fear and, what’s even better, legally compel the rest of people to live in fear as well?

There certainly was some disruption in gyms as workout places, but I'd be cautious about systematic conclusions like "broken everyone's regular exercise and healthy habits" given observable factors like:
* increased personal time for workouts for anyone working remotely (or forgoing employment entirely)
* dramatically increased demand & prices for home exercise equipment
* shifts to cooking at home
March / April 2020 seemed to be marked by a lot of people going outside and running. Personally, I shed over 35 lbs of bodyfat in 2020 and have had few comparable periods where I hiked as often or ate as cleanly, and I'm far from alone in my circle of acquaintances.

#185I find it weird that there's no mentions of variants, but I assume based on the timeline it's probably Delta and older. Seems impossible to tell if this holds for omicron as well, given that it's replication behavior and general outcome is a bit different and usually more mild.
I’m Danish, like everyone of my fellows I had my 3 shots and a case of Omniwhatever. I’m 39 and in relatively decent shape, I can run 5km in 25 minutes and I do 20-30 minute of semi-cardio every day as I walk an 3km steep incline going home from work. Post covid (two months now) I feel the burn so much faster. Completely anecdotal but it had my doctor worried enough that she send me to an EKG and for blood testing (w…
All the technology, training, and funding in the world and the result ("who knows" and stress) is worse than the base case (ignorance).

> How many have had instances of heart failure? Who knows when every authority seems to have a vested interest in promoting vaccines no matter what.
What.. how? Why? What's the vested interest for the Mali, Bulgaria, Brazil, Lesotho, Nepal authorities in promoting vaccines no matter what?
Bulgaria has been quite conformant to the EU/US narrative both in terms of government and mass media. After the last elections there is even a joke circulating around, that next time we shall vote for an US ambassador.

Why is that article still a preprint?
While there are several problems with that paper, it should be noted, as an epidemiologist, that the publication timelines for COVID-19 papers have gone well and truly pear shaped.
Are there any problems with that paper that would invalidate their conclusion that myocarditis is more likely in young men who get Moderna than young men who get Covid?

When you put it that way, sign me up! When is it my turn to play despot? :)
Re: Heart-disease risk soars after Covid, even with a mild case
#190These numbers are exceptionally high on aggregate. From the article: "out of every 1,000 people studied, there were around 4 more people in the COVID-19 group than in the control group who experienced stroke." This means that for every million people who got COVID-19, we would expect 4,000 more strokes. Using a lower-bound estimate that 50% of the population will get COVID-19 at some point, this would mean roughly 65…
Life insurers are already seeing it play out too, there was a 40% increase in life insurance claims for working age adults in the last couple years: https://thehill.com/changing-america/well-being/longevity/58... A significant amount of people are dying unexpectedly early.
