I was gonna put this in the tags but there was too much: A lot of the symptoms mentioned can be explained by lack of oxygen delivery to the bloodstream. It's called hypoxia, it can cause tremors, delerium/hallucination, even severe nightmares/night terrors. Also brain fog, (something I commonly experience at work after using my n95 for too long), & short term memory loss. Also, being hypoxic for too long basically signals to your brain to increase your heart rate because it allows faster delivery of whatever inadequate amounts of oxygen is already in your blood. Being tachycardic for too long causes extreme body fatigue because your body thinks youre trying to run a marathon or some shit.
Also covid causes such an intense inflammatory response that it results in hypercoagulation of the blood, which can lead to circulatory issues and blood clotting.
ALSO, the reason why people seem to get better and then worse is, from what we've seen, whatever damage is done to the lung tissue seems to be permanent. So I have a patient who's been in the hospital since April, hes currently testing negative for COVID, his viral load is not high enough to be detected anymore, but hes still requires absurd amounts of oxygen and it's taking him months to wean down. Not to mention he needed to be intubated twice and now has a tracheostomy. He is 39 years old with no comorbidities.
But yeah, it's fine if we send the children back to school.
