"I think the 200,000 dead you are talking about are a good reflection of people who would probably not die if they did not have that infection," said Mr. Fauci said when Noah asked him if the number was inflated. "The thing I think we need to pay attention and humiliate is, we do not know about this infection, but when we start to see now, or some things that trouble me."

"Last month, disease control and prevention centersnotedThe number and rate of cases of coronaviruses in children under the age of 18 had increased from March to July, "reports theWashington Post. "The Agency pointed out that, while Covid-19 remains more serious and widespread among adults, a lack of generalized trials prevents public health experts from understanding the real impact of infection for American children. A study. CDC revealed that young people in color, much like their older counterparts were disproportionately hospitalized with COVID-19 compared to their white peers. "
- Fauci continued: "The other thing is that when people are infected, we see more and more signs and persistent symptoms, so that when you erase the virus, you can have weeks or months in which You come from [feeling]. Not quite right. " "People with more serious infections could suffer long-term damage not only in their lungs, but in their hearts, an immune system, a brain and elsewhere," Reports "Nature. "The evidence of the previous epidemics of coronavirus, in particular the acute respiratory syndrome epidemic (SARS), suggest that these effects can last for years. And although, even if, in some cases, the most serious infections provoke Also the worst long-term impacts, even light cases may have changed effects to life - including persistent malaise similar to chronic fatigue syndrome. "
- And Fauci continued: "The last thing is that they recently did a study published in theCardiology Journal of the American Medical AssociationWhere people who have recovered, even from the disease that was not so severe - when you make a sensitive imaging or imaging, you can see things like heart inflammation. Now they may not be symptomatic, but we want to make sure that six months or a year, they are not limited with unexplained arrhythmias or premature heart attacks or cardiomyopathies. "

"How the virus could damage the cardiac muscle is just a question of researchers who now stimulate," reportsScience. "Further studies follow people during and after acute illness to learn how current the current cardiac inflammation is after Covid-19, the service life and if it responds to specific treatments. Researchers also want to know if the Patients tabs in the same way as patients with myocarditis of other causes, which may include chemotherapy and other viruses. In more than half of the cases induced by the virus, the inflammation resolves without incident. "
"The situation is not wrapped in what the total impact of this is doing, which means we have to take it very seriously," says Fauci. "Even among people who are obviously in difficulty and die.
