The director-general of the World Health Organisation (WHO) said the world wasn't ready for a pandemic.
An England cricket fan who waited 10 months in Sri Lanka to watch his team play is escorted away by police before a ball had been bowled in the first Test. Rob Lewis, who decided to stay in the country after the original tour was aborted over the coronavirus last March, tried to watch the game from the historic ramparts of Galle Fort, a vantage point which overlooks the city's cricket ground. But he was ordered off there just after the national anthems. The game was held behind closed doors because of the pandemic.
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.
It's been widely noted that survivors of the novel coronavirus COVID-19 may suffer neurological damage long after other symptoms survive. It's believed that this brain damage isn't caused by the virus, but rather by the body's immune response to it. Now, UPI reports an international group of researchers has called for studies to explore the potential long-term effects of COVID-19 on the brain. Previous studies have documented brain inflammation, or encephalitis, in patients with severe COVID-19 symptoms. Some patients also suffered strokes. Postmortem MRI scans of patients who have died from COVID-19 have revealed lesions, or damage, in different regions of the brain. Researchers say it's becoming clear that the damage done by COVID-19 may have chronic, long-term consequences that could impact patients' quality of life.
