Here’s the scary thing about the coronavirus that so many people still don’t realize

[Yoni Heisler]

• A new CDC report reveals that nearly 10% of coronavirus patients return to the hospital within two months of discharge.
• Many coronavirus patients experience lingering symptoms months after leaving the hospital. These individuals are known as 'long haulers' while the affliction itself is known as Long COVID.
• Coronavirus symptoms likely to linger include brain fog, memory loss, cough, and fatigue.

A new CDC report highlights one of the scariest and least understood aspects of the coronavirus, namely that the virus, for thousands of people, simply doesn't go away. The CDC's latest Morbidity and Mortality report reveals that thousands of COVID-19 patients who needed hospital treatment between March and July ultimately required additional hospitalization within two months of discharge.

The CDC report specifically notes that among a field of 106,543 coronavirus patients who survived their initial hospital stay, 9,504 of them (or 9%) returned to the same hospital just a few short weeks later. What's more, 1,667 patients were readmitted more than once.
