buywell reads this morning that in possibly 20% of cases heart damage , and those that suffer this and recover will obviously be impaired in some way,
This heart damage follows on after lung damage , read up on sepsis and septic shock.
My concern is that this seemingly mild disease , is for many going to either kill them or leave them permanently damaged to various degrees. The on-going cost to Health Services will IMO be considerable.

This news is new re heart damage Google News 'heart damage Covid-19' and you will see a number of different stories/pieces in the last few days.
Worryingly it is not just the heart and lungs that are damaged , the liver and kidneys also are affected
'' From Washington state in the US, among 21 cases admitted to the ICU, 17 were admitted to ICU within 24 hours of hospital admission and 15 required intubation. Besides their respiratory distress, seven developed heart damage, four suffered kidney failure, and three liver damage. As of March 17, 11 of the patients had died, two had left the ICU, and eight still needed ventilation.''

This damage to the body's organs : is called Sepsis a disease which now is responsible for over 20% of deaths worldwide , the worlds biggest single killer and most of you will never have heard of it.
Sepsis causes Septic Shock if not treated properly , lethal in 40% of cases
hTtps://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/sepsis-now-bigger-killer-cancer-21295621
''Most people recover from mild sepsis, but the average mortality rate for septic shock is about 40 percent.''

Not a pretty picture is it
Yes flat out and working weekends
However buywell is asking them to go that extra mile and now also go on night shifts using additional staff to meet the orders which note must now be coming in 24 hrs a day
That is time zone differences --- staff working nights will answer incoming enquiries as they come in .
If you guys take the trouble to go back and read what buywell has said on this thread
Then you will see buywell has been 100% correct , the post that follows this will support what I have been posting about , namely that using a LiDCO Hemodynamic Monitor has been clinically proved to save a considerable percentage of patients lives that have Sepsis or Septic Shock.
Sepsis is a disease that causes the bodies own immune system to attack/destroy itself resulting in various organ damage , in the case of Covid-19
1) First the lungs
2) Second the Heart
3) Thirdly the Liver and Kidney
Truly a terrible disease BUT using LiDCO monitors has been proved to save lives and reduce bed time in hospital by 4 or 5 days , LOS Length of Stay.
Reducing length of stay by 5 days is CRITICAL in the number of patients that can be treated in a ICU .
Hospitals and countries around the world are in general trying to TRIPLE their ICU capabilities -- yes 300% increase -- to meet the ICU required capacity to treat the tide of Covid-19 patients.
Which buywell perceives, looking at Covid-19 in a purely economic light , as a requirement for the existing Hemodynamic Monitor market to leap by OVER 300% to meet the challenge.
Why over ?
Because many Hospitals and Health Services are either cash strapped and couldn't afford enough prior to Covid-19 , something LiDCO addressed by its High Usage Plan (HUP) initiative , however Covid-19 has now forced the hands of Governments and monies have been found.
