Hospital Reports a Scary Effect of Severe COVID-19 Is Far More Common Than Thought

[discocrisco01]

Patients with COVID-19 who have been admitted to the intensive care unit are very likely to experience unusually persistent delirium, according to emerging research.

Delirium is a medical term used to describe confused thinking and reduced awareness of surroundings - a not uncommon state of mind for the sickest hospitalized patients.

1. Well, if you think it's a hoax before you even get it, was it the virus or just a chronic condition?

2. Aye. "Delerium", "confused thinking and reduced awareness"...

That's a pretty good description of your typical right-wing anti-vaxxer before they come down with Covid.

3. Oh, it's much deeper than that.

Many elderly develop intolerances for opiods, it's super common, and you are drugged up when intubated, so that's just a recipe for disaster even when you aren't a Covidiot.

If one is an unvaccinated Covidiot, the extra suffering is deserved, they caused this themselves and i feel no sympathy whatsoever.

4. How can they tell the difference between before and after?
