They found 34% of Covid-19 survivors received a diagnosis for a neurological or psychological condition within six months of their infection, according to the study published Tuesday in the journal Lancet Psychiatry.

 

Other, smaller studies have pointed to the result. One study in February followed 381 patients treated for Covid-19 at a hospital in Rome, Italy and found that 30% of them experienced post-traumatic stress disorder after recovery.

 

Alot of this is from stress and anxiety caused by media and fear mongers who go by title rather than content. People who read only the first paragraph of the article and then quote and post that first line to forums. 

 

Just what we need in Surrey (Ground Zero of Covid Infections in Canada) ..............more people with neurological or psychological conditions  !

Pretty ridiclous everything is blamed on the media nowadays. Media will report facts and what's happening, you are free to interpret it how you want.

 

Take COVID for example, the media is just doing the job and report as objectively as possible. COVID is obviously a very contagious and could be a very deadly diease depending on who gets it (how old you are, existing illness and etc...) Now, you can interpret COVID as being a flu, it is no big deal. Or you can treat it as the plague and be very scared of it. Basically there are a lot of vairables with this diease and it is not right or wrong as to how you intrepret or face this pandemic. 

 

But there is absolutely no need to make things up and accuse the media of conspiracies unless you have proof they really did report falsely which I have seen none. 

 

I also have no qualms with news titles, the title usually quite accurately matches with the contents of the article. What you should be upset with are youtube video titles.

so let's just say the players are done quaranting and comes back negative. is the league going to force the team to play even if the players are still having issues like breathing and stuff?? are players allowed to say i'm negative but i'm still suffering from covid and not play? or will the league penalize them? coz they are trying to finish the season? 

[VegasCanuck]

Are we hearing of any new cases today?

Please tell me that you don't really believe that???

[VegasCanuck]

Sounds like no new cases reported overnight, although...when the whole team essentially has it already, it may just be that we've run out of guys to test positive with

Did you really make a rant about people only reading titles...

 

... by going on to make up stuff about some studies based only on titles and what you think might be in them, without actually reading them?

 

Please quote where in the Lancet or other study it found that the dramatic increase in many forms of neurological and psychiatric conditions was due to “media fear mongering.”

Players need to be cleared medically to be allowed to play including cardiac screening. 

 

Like other teams, it’s likely that the team starts playing games with several players still out.  They will have to recall players from the taxi squad / AHL to fill those spots.

On the bright side it does put us in a better lottery situation

Apparently no new cases today!  I think we basically ran out of players who were on the ice though... so not sure how amazing it is to have one day without new positives

That's essentially why I think there were no new cases. Everyone already has it!

No player would ever be forced to play, if they reported any type of medical issue that makes them unfit for the active roster. Players are absolutely allowed to report they are suffering from any kind of ailment (which would include post-Covid-19 syndrome) and don’t feel well enough to play. They would been seen by doctors and assessed, just like with any other illness or injury, and placed on IR/LTIR accordingly. In the rare case where the player was determined to be “faking” (which really wouldn’t apply in such cases), they might be asked to report, and then contract termination could result, if a player refused to report, and didn’t have a legitimate reason. But that’s not going to happen. If any player is still sick, even after testing negative, they will be kept out, just the same as if they had lingering symptoms from some other virus or medical issue.

 

As for the team, they could be forced to ice a lineup, and draw from their depth, if the regular roster players are unable to play. However, it’s more likely the league would just cancel the season for a team in that scenario, and use points percentage for standings. It’s highly unlikely that the whole Canucks roster is going to end up “long haulers” with significant post-Covid impacts, but if that happened, I’d expect the NHL to pull the plug on the Canucks’ season, rather than have them play out the remaining games with an AHL team.

I never stated anything of this nature. It is fact that the media sensationalizes it's stories to fits a narrative of shock and  fear. They will leave out any actual evidence or proof that doesn't sell.

You see, we need more transparency with this virus. It's so deadly yet so secretive. While there is no "report" it would be common sense that a person who suffers from anxiety and depression will be affected by media and public posts that only give half the actual story. 

 

"Sensationalism" 

 

Have you ever listened to Dr. Henry. yes... but the Q n A from the reporters are so weak...

Ya, you referenced two studies and then said their results were due to media fear mongering.

 

Also, it is not “common sense” that media fear mongering affects people who have had Covid differently than it does people who haven’t had it... everyone sees the same media, so your “common sense” logic means that a third of the general public now has diagnosed neurological conditions even if they didn’t have Covid?
 

The studies showed that neurological and psychiatric conditions were significantly increased for those who had Covid.  It is even made clear that it is first time incidents of those issues... not people already differing them like you suggest.  Media sensationalism doesn’t cause Parkinson’s, dementia, Guillain Barre syndrome, etc.  The fact all of these conditions increase in Covid patients shows that there is a clear physiological process at play impacting the brain.  

Your common sense is simply ignorance.

I am not going list every article to prove a point. especially since you are not going to read them lol

 

It is common sense. because anyone who suffers from these psychological diseases will be greatly affected by what is sensationalized in the media. You have the fear of contracting covid, creating anxiety and the fear while having contracted it, what long term affects will be dealing with...and these affects are multiplied by the media who tend to sensationalize their stories to get clicks and views. You are ignorant to that fact. 

 

Everyone sees the the same media but not everyone is suffering from these psychological diseases. 

 

This comment here - Media sensationalism doesn’t cause Parkinson’s, dementia, Guillain Barre syndrome, etc..is very childish.  With this comment shows that you are being a sensationalist.

 

And the fact that you bring up such items shows that you are straying from the topic and have no argument. You just like to read your own post like a loud mouth who likes to hear themselves speak.

 

You are the ignorant one here if you think media does not play a factor in psychological disease with sensationalism. Especially after I present you proof. then we are done here.

The media is a joke.  Up here.  A couple weeks back Canada had received about 6.5 million doses delivered total from December to current, with provinces running at 85-95% of their supply in arms.  Then over the period of 3-4 days we get 3.5 million doses delivered to Canada at the end of the quarter.  Instantly the media's narrative changes to "provinces only using 60% of doses, millions sitting in freezers, provinces hoarding vaccine supply"

 

Either nobody in media has a grasp of grade 5 math.  Or they are being intentional dishonest.
