TRIBUNMANADO.CO.ID – Researchers around the world are racing to develop a Covid-19 vaccine.
More than 170 vaccine candidates are now being tracked by the World Health Organization (WHO).
Typically, vaccines require years of testing.
The vaccine will eventually allow most people infected with Covid-19 to survive.
However, for many patients, they live with long-lasting post-cure symptoms.
In fact, these symptoms can be permanent.
This was explained by Dr. Rony Shimony, cardiologist at Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, United States.
In his interview with Time, Shimony said he and his colleagues had noticed that patients in their 30s who had survived Covid-19 reported lasting symptoms.
These symptoms include kidney damage, decreased heart function, and cognitive impairment.
Shimony added, the sicker the patient due to Covid-19, the greater the damage to their organs.
