For someone who does not know you sure have a lot of opinions on the subject.
Why speak of someone you have no first hand experience with.
I have 3 family members (yes they all work) who have long-term effects from the virus.
Guess this is what happens when a virus is made in a lab.

For someone who does not know...

Long haul effects

This is for you JMintzer. In another thread that was CLOSED, you asked for a link siting the percentage of Covid survivors who develop long haul side effects. Here is an article...........

A Third of COVID Survivors Have Long-Haul Symptoms

It would be interesting to know the deaths and adverse effects of the “vaccine” as well. I understand that some of that information is being censored, so I’m not sure we can get the true answers. It may be to early determine any long term effects too?

I am retired professor of Internal Medicine at the University of New York, Chief of Staff at a 350 bed hospital, former Chairman of both the Pharmacy and Therapeutics Committee and the Quality Assurance Committee. Oh yes, and education wise I have a BS in microbiology with published papers and received high honors in both virology and epidemiology in medical school.

And your credentials are.......wait for it......you have a family member who claims to have some symptoms.

Now do you want to continue the debate over "who doesn't know what they are talking about"? At this point you should just cry "uncle" because you'll lose badly

And btw, I never said it couldn't happen----the operative word was MAYBE, and I never referred to a specific person. Perhaps you should brush up on reading comprehension before trying to engage in a medical debate with an expert.

Did prescribe a salve for that burn? :bigbow:

It hasn't been around "long term" yet...

I certainly hope so. But as a medical expert, neither attorney would ever fail to exclude me during voir dire

To be fair, I think he loves his daughter and is unhappy that she has some symptomatology regardless of cause. Unfortunately, he rushed to his keyboard without realizing that he was so far out of my league that he wasn't even playing the same game.
It's OK, I can understand that. He was coming from a very narrow perspective and can't see the big picture.

Don't believe everything you read. It's like reading this forum. If you believed everything on this forum, you'd be a an idiot. I take everything I hear and read with a "grain of salt".

Not sure of the definition of "long-term"...............but he is coming up on a year.
He was the picture of good health & fitness.
:pray:

When was it ever expected - thru the history of humankind - that people in their 50s, 60s, 70s+++ were expected to live lives free of physical discomfort and health issues? Goodness - every cold, bout of the flu, cancer diagnosis, stiff joints, cataracts, heart attack, stroke, etc……- will in many cases - now be blamed on Covid….. goodness - what caused all these things pre-covid?

Never said it was expected.

What a stupid post.

Unfortunately I've fallen victim to a common and measurable disease....
CRAFT's disease. It's by no way caused by Covid-19, simply too many years of fun! BTW, CRAFT's disease is an acronym for Can't Remember A F*****g Thing.....lol

I don't think his post was "stupid"

I think it fits better into the category of "Captain Obvious says...":1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Yes, but there are those, even some on this site, that will blame your symptoms on the "brain fog" of "long haul" COVID-19

Post-COVID syndrome severely damages children's hearts: 'Immense inflammation' causing cardiac blood vessel dilation -- ScienceDaily

And we also have teens having heart problems AFTER getting the shot (not a vaccine). So, it is reasonable for someone to make the decision to steer clear of the shot.

"Inpatient novel coronavirus (COVID-19) claims will require a positive viral test result to be eligible for the 20% increase in the MS-DRG weighting factor, effective for admissions on or after September 1. The test must be performed within 14 days of admission, and the results must be documented in the patient’s medical record."

Notice they said ON or AFTER September 1... Before that, no positive test was required. Only an assumption of Covid... Yes, so noted. But neither the Hospital Administrators nor billing clerks can add a Covid diagnosis, assumed or proven, to a patient's medical record, that comes from the doc. And a signed order from a doc/authorized designee is required for any testing, including Covid testing. Hospital admins don't routinely access medical records, and billing clerks (coders) bill only based on the documentation in the record. Compliance is my gig, I know that's how it works. So I'm still not understanding why you don't blame physicians, instead blaming hospital admin and billing clerks for the Covid dx.

CMS Will Require Positive COVID-19 Test Results for Increased Inpatient Payment | HealthLeaders Media

From your article: "However, organizations should prepare to comply with the new requirement by September 1. Organizations must ensure processes are in place to obtain accurate test results for all COVID-19 admissions. Clinical, HIM, CDI, and billing staff should be informed of the change, and coders and CDI specialists should query for missing test results. Organizations may need to review processes for obtaining test results from outside entities and should consider processes for holding inpatient COVID-19 claims that are pending test results. Organizations should reach out to their MACs to discuss operational and technical questions." Or are you suggesting hospital administration should not seek out permissible payments? No way, I don't think that's what you meant, you'd never pass up the same opportunity within your business (i.e. private practice).
