"Every day there is more and more medical evidence coming to light of the
long-term effects of COVID infection. There now appears to be a distinction
between long COVID and the sort of longer-term complications such as heart
disease – they may actually be two different phenomena.
Long COVID is really just continuing symptoms after you’ve had an acute COVID
phase. But there is now a whole bunch of people who did recover, don’t have
long COVID, are feeling perfectly well, but may now have a greater risk of
stroke, heart attack or brain problems.
There is now a recommendation from the American Heart Association that anyone
who’s had any COVID infection have regular heart checks because of that
increased risk. Who in the general public knows that? Virtually no one. It is
looking very dire and it makes me very angry.
I’m very concerned that people think the COVID-19 pandemic is over. And I’m
concerned with what that means for public health in Australia and across the
world."
