Almost 30% of Covid patients in England readmitted to hospital after discharge – study

[Northerner]

Nearly a third of people who were discharged from hospitals in England after being treated for Covid-19 were readmitted within five months – and almost one in eight died, a study suggests.

The research, which is still to be peer-reviewed, also found a higher risk of problems developing in a range of organs after hospital discharge in those younger than 70 and ethnic minority individuals.

“There’s been so much talk about all these people dying from Covid … but death is not the only outcome that matters,” said Dr Charlotte Summers, a lecturer in intensive care medicine at the University of Cambridge who was not involved in this study.

“The idea that we have that level of increased risk in people – particularly young people – it means we’ve got a lot of work to do.”

Readmission rate for Covid patients 3.5 times greater, and death rate seven times higher, than for other hospital patients

a lot who get covid then go on to suffer from various other symptoms they call it long covid symptoms. i mentioned it in a few posts on here. very disturbing though.

when i had a lung virus it took a year to recover and basically got no explanations as to why. one thing though it certainly made me very ill.

Apparently it's also causing a rise in Type 1 diagnoses

I wonder .... if that's more in men than ladies - in view of the difference in the immune systems and the fact that mens T cells need to spring into action far sooner than ladies' do when a virus is detected?

(You and I both already knew a virus can cause T1 LOL)

My massage therapist has a client who is in pediatrics and they told her they had been seeing a handful of children each week normally only see 1-2.This was during the first wave.

Well being as it's a viral pandemic more people generally whether children or adults have been more likely to come into contact with it recently, so their immune systems get going and Oh dear - whereas for the last 100 years it's just been the odd random few that came into contact with a random virus and Oh dear.

I should say 98 years shouldn't I? because before that the children would have just wasted away and died and the adults wouldn't have lasted all that much longer on their starvation diets.

It's a very ancient disease (recorded by ancient Greeks) - but the successful treatment of it, is still very new comparatively!
