Edit: thanks guys! Stay safe!

This is why re-opening the economy and schools is incredibly stupid and I would not expose anyone I care about until we all get the vaccine.
Whammo
Cool I can call Co-Vid 'my ex' now

This is fine.

Livescience.com sure seems like a credible source

Prevention is better than cure. Wear a mask people.

Cut my heart into pieces. Remove my DNA.

God dammit

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

cut my heart in 2 pizzas this is my last resort

WATEVER HAPPENSH, HAPPENSH!

Clots in blood vessels, respiratory damage, chances of strokes increased from clots, and now heart damage. This sounds more like a bioweapon

Worrying, but still a preprint about tests in dishes. This is a long way from published, view in that context... Concerned action not panic
transientmind
All the skepticism is puzzling. “Let’s not go crazy avoiding COVID - it might NOT kill your DNA!” Dude. Why not err on the side of caution?
transientmind
“Oh shit, if turns out it DOES cause permanent damage taking decades off your life. But at least I got to go to the game!”
InDubiousBattle
I'm with you. Not gonna go full Howard Hughes, but "We don't know what it will do" is bad enough. I don't want to be a case study.
MoonRiverFrost
So, Im essential... I'm terrified.
MrGato
Imgur should have a policy to not post non-peer reviewed studies. Nothing to do with this article but in general its dumb
EverCursed
"the new finding ... has not yet been published in a peer-reviewed journal, or proven to happen in people. "
NerdNerdburger
But there are autopsies showing very evocative evidence that it or something like it does happen in people.

I'm too dumb to get it. I just wear the face thing and have purell.
McBlech
Then you’re not too dumb, you’re one of the smart ones.
iDrinkDrano
Dumb but good, listens to the smart ones.
transientmind
And stay home as much as possible. Masks and distance are nowhere near as effective as simply not being where virus carriers are.
NursePaulFlowers
Oh I lost like all my muscle mass doing that. Kinda pissed about losing so much hard work but.. it's the journey I guess.
transientmind
Good time to experiment with high-resistance body weight exercises!

TIL: Coronavirus is just my ex in disguise.

Remember, one study can be meaningless until proven repeatable and peer reviewed

Going to be interesting to see the potential long term effects in years to come, in a sad way. If we don't get taken out by something else

And guess who got diagnosed with hypertension in this year of chaos? Yup, this guy. FUCK

Ok. As long as it doesn't affect my dick.

It seems that blood clotting is a common side effect, so give it time. We're still only 9 months into the lifespan of this disease.
pseudopseudonym
Your dick definitely needs your heart to do a few things.
LiquidSodium
What the fuck corona?
EnlightenmentSatori
Stay home.
llandy
It says there's no proof it happens inside people, wouldn't that be easy to prove? Find person dead from covid, look at heart?
hellvis
Did you not read past the pretty picture?
llandy
yeah, what am I missing?
hellvis
The autopsy sample analysis that had similar structural changes?
llandy
So I gotta ask, Why can they not prove it happens in the human body if they see that it happened in a corpse?
hellvis
Experimenting on humans is illegal.
Sm9yCg
That would explain the sudden rise of heart diseases in covid-survivers
MedicallyAccurateReplies
There's no effective control group (what does common cold e.g. rhinovirus do?) and is in a dish not a human. I'm NOT denying it MAY cause...
DJScrambles
What? You think no one has studied the common cold before?
q2grapple
Yes, because so many people catch a cold or flu and up with heart disease and lung transplants. I can totally understand your skepticism.
CWrightPills
Skepticism of a preprint archive paper that has not passed peer review should be the norm. That doesn’t mean it’s wrong, but be cautious.
DJScrambles
Being skeptical by saying we don't have a control to compare the common cold is irrelevant at best and actively stupid at worst
CWrightPills
I don’t like that comp either for *gestures wildly at everything* but I don’t t know much about viruses so reliance on peer review is good
MedicallyAccurateReplies
...heart injury, I'm just saying it's important to be accurate in our reporting and not sensationalist which is currently v easy to do.
BishlamekGurpgork
Well, we know it causes heart problems, this just might be an explanation behind the mechanism.
BishlamekGurpgork
As you pointed out, MIGHT be.
MedicallyAccurateReplies
Not accusing OP of sensationalism directly of course. These can come from reputable sources! But there's levels of nuance in these papers.
StressedOut
My thoughts as well. Also, username is on point.
subparsubpoena
"Not peer-reviewed yet" is usually a good sign to wait before spreading the study in main stream media...
TheSexInstructor
Username incredibly relevant
