[RTRS] - NEW YORK GOVERNOR CUOMO, RESPONDING TO CRITICISM FROM PRESIDENT TRUMP ABOUT STATE REQUESTS FOR FEDERAL AID, SAYS "IF HE IS SITTING HOME WATCHING TV MAYBE HE SHOULD GET UP AND GO TO WORK"
(don't read this post if you're already anxious or if you're just going to point fingers at people for fear mongering, even though all these things we "fear mongered" about ended up being true)
One thing that hasn't been talked about much and which we won't know for years or decades is the long-term health sequelae of Covid-19.
In many infectious diseases, there are problems that appear well after the person has recovered, sometimes decades out. Given that Covid-19 is novel, can hit hard, and can hit many organ systems all mean that it has the potential for this. Hopefully not, but it could, and this possibility should weigh into our approach to this disease.
This is especially true for people saying we should let it rip through communities, that we should open the economy, etc. Imagine the incredible health burden and long-term destruction of the economy if we find in 20 years that 20% of Covid-19 survivors are prone to serious health problems later in life. If you think 20% unemployment for a few months in bad, imagine if 20% of the population is put on long-term disability because their lungs are shot.
Again, this is a long-shot, but even if this has a 0.1% chance of happening, it would greatly outweigh any short-term concerns about needing to re-open the economy.
