POST COVID HEART CHECK UP



Heart damages found in coronavirus patients months after recovering from COVID 19, according to an article published in USA Today by Adrianna Rodriguez in July 2020. New evidence suggests the coronavirus has lasting impacts on hearts , raising alarm for cardiologists who have been concerned about potential heart injury from long term COVID 19. Two German studies too found heart abnormalities in Covid 19 patients months after they had already recovered from the disease caused by SARS-CoV2.

The first study included 100 patients from the University of Hospital Frankfurt Covid 19 Registry who were relatively healthy adults in their 40s and 50s. About one third of the patients required hospitalisation, while the rest recovered from home.

Researchers looked at cardiac magnetic resonance imaging taken nearly two and a half months after they were diagnosed and compared them with images from people who never had Covid 19. The study found heart abnormalities in 78 patients, with 60 of those patients showing signs of inflammation of heart muscle from the virus.

All those who have recovered from coronavirus disease may, therefore, consult the cardiologist and get their heart muscles examined periodically.

DO WE NEED TRADE UNIONS ANY MORE?

Image
Finally the communist government have forced to impose curbs on the Trade Unions in the state to mitigate the unbearable actions taken by them. Trade Unions have come into being when employees were put on hardships by the employers. The time have been changed since then. Now it is our own government and our own laws. All safety, security and welfare measures are ensured for the employee of all types. No third party is now required to safeguard justice for employees. Appropriate forums are established for employees to register their complaints either singularly or jointly. Therefore, as far as employees are concerned, they do not need any assistance from Trade Unions today. Trade Unions are now functioning as power centres of political parties. If the government is willing to stand with the people, then they can ban all Trade Unions activities in the state/country. Trade Unions today make negative contributions to the economy of the state and the country as a whole. Infact t
