In a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine

researchers have detected the Covid-19 {aka SARS-CoV-2} virus in various organs,
including heart, liver, kidneys, and brain.
Of course this research will have to be replicated, but it may show why infection
is not just a "respiratory thing" - why so many symptoms seem to be associated with it.

Yes, and the intestinal system as well, that's not reported as much, but my cousin was infected there, proven in a positive test, and hospitalized. He has recovered.

I believe it was researchers from Hong Kong who detected virus in fecal samples, but I didn't reference them also since it might lead to dumb political feuding since they stuck under Chinese rule now.

I am glad that your cousin has recovered BTW.

It doesn't surprise me.

And it shouldn't. This has been spoken about for about a couple of months. It is one of the possible issues with those who have 'recovered'. A mild dose like a kid might get will be fought off with probably no permanent affects. But if you have been in hospital for it and 'recovered' you probably haven't as the virus can wreck havoc with multiple organs particularly the lungs. And it may, or may not, come back and bite you later in life.
That is why if you have been in hospital for treatment for covid-19 but recovered the military still won't touch you with a barge pole (unless it is to shove you out the door).
This is one of the reason why you DO NOT want to catch it !!

Yes, it's messing us up in all sorts of ways.

Two folks (couple) we know had it/recovered said (quote): 40 days of hell, ventilator in hospital, and at home. Said they not only felt very alone and scared, isolated in ICU, also felt like they were being stabbed by knives in the chest throughout the whole ordeal! One (son-in-law's family friend) who didn't make it was 34. It is showing up in odd ways in children, and doing them serious harm....more variations, and more ways of harming us than we initially imagined, we will be learning lots from the science community over the next few months.

Open up, go back to work, but protect yourselves and others (wear the safety gear), otherwise we may get our collective arses kicked badly this fall and winter. Those with a "devil may care" attitude, you may get to see him in person.....

I hope it doesn’t affect my Hammond B-3 organ.

I saw and read and posted the same article. The data came from autopsies. The end of the artcle had a long list of doctors. Replication will be easy - just conduct autopsies.

I originally saw these results on CNN, but I looked for the original so no one could claim that I had picked a liberal misrepresentation,

There are numerous reports documenting that Covid-19 is a multi-organ-system disease. Respiratory, cardiac, central nervous system, blood clotting mechanism, kidney function, gastrointestinal tract. That is why a person with Covid may present not just as pneumonia and respiratory failure, but as just a stroke, just a heart attack, just a seizure, just diarrhea, just delirium, just a pulmonary embolus ("blood clot to the lung"), etc. And the kids and young teenagers who are developing inflammatory syndrome resembling Kawasaki disease. Covid-19 is a frightful bug.

Some rehabilitation hospitals treating discharged acute care patients have developed specific Covid 19 rehab units. Patients admitted there are re-learning how to dress, walk, eat, etc. Covid 19 after-effects are scary.

I know there was week between CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin's being declared "OK" and her actually going back to work.

You are correct. And yet you see plenty of very ignorant people ignoring safety rules and complaining about their rights etc. Extremely selfish individuals. If I was the police I would round a whole group up and take them to a morgue and show them what their guts would look like if they caught it. I bet there would be some converts after that.
