3/4ths of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in Wuhan, China still have symptoms months later. These patients actually have at least one lingering symptom six months after getting sick. Around 63% of the patients reported fatigue or muscle weakness. This is the most common long-term symptom, reports Business Insider. Doctors say long-term COVID-19 cases resemble chronic fatigue syndrome. Tens of millions of people have covered from the coronavirus so far worldwide.
UPI reports new research shows it's a very good idea to insist that healthcare workers get an annual flu shot. That's according to researchers from the University of Georgia, Montana State University and Monash University in Australia. They found that states with mandatory flu shots for hospital workers saw statewide reductions in deaths from influenza and pneumonia. They estimate that during the 2016-17 season alone, nearly 2,000 deaths were averted in the 15 U.S. states that had mandatory vaccination laws at that time. The findings suggest that health-worker vaccination laws may be a good way to protect the country's most vulnerable populations. The researchers say it's possible that similar benefits could also be seen with mandatory COVID-19 vaccination of hospital workers.
People who have recovered from COVID-19 are safe from reinfection with the virus for at least six months. The data is according to a study posted online Friday by researchers at Oxford University in England. To date, studies have found that antibodies against the new coronavirus offer varying levels of immunity from infection. According to UPI, some researchers have found that immunity may be only 90 days in some people. Several cases of reinfection have been reported, in which people with confirmed COVID-19 recover and then test positive. Researchers caution that data from the study has not been published in a medical journal or peer-reviewed.
