Australian Study Debunks Long Covid
The term “long Covid” should be dropped from use, because Covid has no more aftereffects than the flu or other mild respiratory illnesses, according to a major new study from Australia released yesterday.
Researchers surveyed 5,112 Australians who had been infected with Covid, flu, or other respiratory illnesses. The study adds to similar work suggesting that - except for the tiny handful of people who require ventilators or intensive hospital care - nearly everyone who gets Covid recovers completely from it within months.
The study’s full findings will be presented at the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases in late April.
“We believe it is time to stop using terms like ‘long COVID,’” the study’s lead author, Dr. John Gerrard, said in a press release. “They wrongly imply there is something unique and exceptional about longer term symptoms associated with this virus. This terminology can cause unnecessary fear, and in some cases, hypervigilance to longer symptoms that can impede recovery.”
Dr. Gerrard is currently the Chief Health Officer of Queensland, an Australian state of 5 million people on the country’s northeast coast. He was the first physician in Queensland to treat a Covid patient.

Global cancer phenomenon: It's not just America... the UK, Japan, South Africa and Australia are among dozens of countries suffering mystery spikes of all different kinds of tumors in young people.
Between 1990 and 2019, cases of cancer in young people across the globe have increased by 79 percent and deaths have risen 28 percent. Studies project diagnoses will continue to rise by 31 percent and deaths will rise by 21 percent in 2030. Nearly every continent is experiencing an increase of various types of cancer in people under 50 years old, which is particularly problematic as the disease tends to be caught in later stages in this population because most doctors aren't trained to look for it in young people. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13197079/cancer-epidemic-young-people-america-uk-india-south-africa.html
