    Heart problems - Of 1,216 #COVID19 patients, 667 (55%) had abnormalities in their scan, & 1 in 7 participants had what researchers described as "severe abnormalities”.

        2) mean age 62, & 70% male. 60% of the scans were performed in a critical care setting, such as an ICU unit or ER, while the others were carried out in general medicine settings, cardiology, respiratory, or COVID-19 wards. Some 54 percent of the patients had severe COVID-19.

        3) After excluding 315 patients with pre-existing ischaemic heart disease, heart failure, or valvular heart disease, 901 patients were identified. 46% of these no heart disease patients still had abnormal ECG.

        4) but about #COVID19 patients with MILD or MODERATE symptoms, and no pre existing coronary heart disease— how many of those still abnormal ECG? Okay let’s take a look: 📌Mild symptoms (no CHD): 51/146= ➡️35% abnormal ECG 📌Moderate symptoms (no CHD): 93/197= ➡️47% abnormal ECGpic.twitter.com/h7T0bjKBJH

        5) That said, there might have been symptoms that led doctors to perform an ECG. So we can’t for sure say that this is the regular overall prevalence of abnormal ECG among such Covid patients. But still troubling.

        My limited knowledge of immunology from my undergraduate biology degree two decades ago is leading me to believer that if we get a vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 it might need to be annual like the Influenza vaccine, correct?

        My guess would be that you try and eliminate the virus one country at a time first and require inoculation for international travel. Lets hope it doesn't become endemic. I suspect that test, trace, isolate programs could do it without the vaccine.

        Well, many may not even know they have these underlying conditions eg hypertension or diabetes until crisis knocks their door
