Over 800 people have died in the UK today from the virus, including some front line NHS staff. @DarkneT still bored of it?

Well fuck. Apparently there is permanent lung damage in many cases even when there are no symptoms. They examined recovered divers without symptoms and found they had what they deemed irreversible lung damage.

Permanently damaged - The Innsbruck University Clinic has found lung damage in recovered Covid sufferers. The damage is apparently permanent.

"It is now undisputed that Covid-19 should be taken seriously as a serious illness. How the late effects will have an impact will only become clear step by step. Recovered patients in diving are also at particular risk. The massive changes in the lungs can significantly increase the risk of accidents, said the senior physician of the Innsbruck University Clinic, Frank Hartig."

"He heads the emergency department in the hospital and is the responsible crisis coordinator for Covid 19 patients. In the clinic, doctors have treated dozens of coronavirus sufferers in recent weeks, from symptom-free spreaders to intensive care patients on the heart-lung machine. Among them were six active divers, all of whom did not have to be treated in hospital, but cured themselves in home quarantines. All of them were not severe cases, their illnesses were five to six weeks ago and they are considered to have recovered. But they can no longer dive. 'The damage to the lungs is irreversible,' said Hartig in an interview with the Austrian Press Agency. And that, even though they were considered to be clinically healthy after several weeks of the control and showed only individual symptoms such as irritable cough or reduced performance."

Is a lost sense of smell a symptom of COVID-19?
"Increasing evidence suggests that a lost sense of smell, known medically as anosmia, may be a symptom of COVID-19. This is not surprising, because viral infections are a leading cause of loss of sense of smell, and COVID-19 is a caused by a virus."

"Flattening the curve is a society-wide effort to slow down the spread of COVID-19 cases. In addition to keeping more people from contracting the virus, staying home and practicing social distancing will ultimately guard against overwhelming the healthcare system and the medical workforce. 'Flattening the curve' is essential to making sure large numbers of people don’t need medical attention at the same time. By taking proactive steps, like canceling large gatherings and restricting contact with others, we have a chance to regain control of this fast-moving disease and alleviate further damage."

Under quarantine to help contain COVID-19, migrant farm workers have fears of their own

"I know there are citizens here who are worried foreign workers will come here with the virus, but I think the foreign workers are even more worried they will get the virus here,"

Behind schedule

Fernando Borja, the director of FERME, which manages the recruitment of foreign agricultural workers in the province, said that money comes as a relief to farmers already struggling with delays to the growing season.

"They have a lot of financial worries," he said.

"We are already three weeks behind, so that will have an impact on production."

Quebec usually hosts 16,000 migrant agricultural workers every growing season, employed on farms and in processing plants.

Workers from Guatemala still haven't arrived in Quebec and may not for several more weeks, due to travel restrictions in their home country.

"If we get 10,000 this year, we'll be happy," Borja said.
