Hospital Authority releases its findings after observing the first group of discharged coronavirus patients
Some patients might have a drop of about 20 to 30 per cent in lung function, says medical director of Infectious Disease Centre at Princess Margaret Hospital
Some patients who recovered from Covid-19 have suffered reduced lung function and now experience problems such as gasping for air when walking quickly, Hong Kong’s Hospital Authority has revealed. The authority released its findings on Thursday after observing the first group of discharged coronavirus patients.
The city has so far recorded 131 confirmed cases of Covid-19, including three fatalities. Of them, 74 patients have been discharged while one probable coronavirus case has also recovered. Dr Owen Tsang Tak-yin, medical director of the authority’s Infectious Disease Centre at Princess Margaret Hospital in Kwai Chung, said doctors had already seen around a dozen discharged patients in follow-up appointments. Two to three were unable to do things as they had in the past.
“They gasp if they walk a bit more quickly,” Tsang told a media briefing on Thursday. “Some patients might have around a drop of 20 to 30 per cent in lung function [after recovery].”
Tsang, who also heads an authority task force on the clinical management of infection, said these patients would undergo tests to determine how much lung function they still had. Physiotherapy would also be arranged to strengthen their lungs.
A review of lung scans of nine infected patients at Princess Margaret found patterns similar to frosted glass in all of them, suggesting there was organ damage.
But Tsang said the long-term effect on recovered patients, such as whether they would develop pulmonary fibrosis, a condition where lung tissue hardened and the organ could not function properly, had yet to be ascertained.
He said discharged patients could do cardiovascular exercise such as swimming to help the lungs recover gradually.
The city’s public hospitals are about to conduct clinical trials on remdesivir, a drug originally developed to treat Ebola, to see how effective it is on Covid-19.
Tsang said the drug had already been delivered to hospitals. Doctors would begin identifying suitable patients to join the trials, which were expected to begin in the middle of this month.
He stressed that the drug could lead to s

I'll be honest. This earthly part of honing my soul to perfection sucks. Being reincarnated over and over again is tiring.
It feels as if on some level, I've been fighting this earthly experience since childhood.
My soul misses home. Being wrapped in unconditional love and peace and soaked in the all encompassing, brilliant light.
I miss the vast fields of colorful flowers that you can rapidly float over as you laugh in complete joy.
Here, people are so cruel and it really, really hurts. "Get a tough skin"? I've tried but cannot. My soul "feels", everything like a raw wound that fosters and never heals.
Mostly, I can relate to the animals rather than other humans. They are so pure of soul and not spiritually altered by human society.
Years of working of years 44 + hours a week to support my family have caused my spirituality has taken a big hit.
I was in a car accident 2 years ago that forced me to slow down my work life for a bit. However, it is up to full speed again and I'm drowning.
I don't know how to begin to nurture my soul.
My body is caught in the physicality of various issues which include severe depression, permanent damage to my spine from the auto accident and some autoimmune disorders.
It all feels like this:
I'm lying facedown in a muddy puddle. The rain is pelting my back and rivulets of icy water stream down my face.
My hair is soaked, my scalp cold and the wet clothes cling to my shivering body.
I try to push myself up, but my hands slide against the slick, uneven road. I can feel the burning sensation of my skin scraping against the ground as my body slams down again, knocking the wind out of me.
Anyhow, the road is my life. The rain and cold are the life problems, depression and the autoimmune disorders.
Can anyone suggest some spirituality websites or perhaps even spiritual leaders or Shamans who may have YouTube videos?
Thank you in advance.
is the louder sobbing crying a sign that the person is more sad than the silent tears? I rarely ever encounter loud sobbing crying but silent tears are common after an emotional movie or show.
Loud sobbing for extended time is common for children and less observed around adults. But when grownups cry, it tends to be more of the silent tears variety and less noisy. Children, babies, don't appear to cry with silent tears as often and their crying is normally louder with audible gasping, shrieking and moans
