>>JENNIFER WAUGH: TEEN ON THIS TUESDAY MORNING NOW TO A HEALTH ALERT ABOUT LONG-TERM LUNG
DAMAGE CAUSED BY
COVID-19. WE LEARNED YESTERDAY
THAT BROADWAY STAR NICK CORDERO
LOST HIS 3 MONTH BATTLE WITH
THE VIRUS. WELL NOT A LOT OF
INFORMATION HAS BEEN SHARED
ABOUT HIS DEATH WE KNOW THAT
HIS WIFE RECENTLY SAID THAT HE
WOULD BE A DOUBLE LUNG
TRANSPLANT TO LIVE. HE WAS JUST
41 YEARS OLD AND WE ALSO KNOW A 20 YEAR-OLD COVID-19 SURVIVOR IN CHICAGO REQUIRED A LUNG
TRANSPLANT AFTER HE CAUGHT THE
VIRUS TO TREAT A CONDITION
CALLED POST
COVID FIBROSIS THIS IS RAISING
QUESTIONS ABOUT LONG LASTING
COMPLICATIONS, PARTICULARLY
YOUNG PEOPLE WHO TYPICALLY
THINK THAT THEY WON’T GET VERY
SICK IF THEY CATCH COVID-19
DOCTOR RAYMOND POMM RATIO IS A
PULMONOLOGIST FROM ASCENSION
SAINT VINCENT’S JOINING US THIS
MORNING DOCTOR THANKS FOR BEING
WITH US.
>> THANK YOU GOOD MORNING.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: GOOD MORNING.
WHAT IS POST-COVID FIBROSIS.
>> PLUS COMING FIBROSIS IS
SYNDROME. THAT
ITS CRIMES.
>> BE.
>> THE DEVELOPMENT
OF OUR PRODUCT PROCESS RELATED
TO THE INFLAMMATION
A CUTE DRESS TREAT THIS PERSON
OR WHICH IS A PROGRESSIVE
PNEUMONIA MOST OF YOU KNOW
COVID-19 PNEUMONIA NEEDS TO.
>> ONGOING INFLAMMATION.
THAT EVENTUALLY NEEDS OF
OVER TIME.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: AND THAT’S
WHAT THEY DID AND SO WHAT DOES
THAT DO THEN TO THE LUNGS.
>> SO
THE IT WHEN YOU DEVELOP
INFLAMMATION AND FIBROSIS YOU
YOU DESTROYED
LONG UNITS IN STORY OF THE YEAR
SOCK SAID THAT ARE INVOLVED IN
GAS EXCHANGE IN SOME OF THESE
STRUCTURES OF ALL THOSE AND
TOGETHER. SO AS A CONSEQUENCE
YOU
CAN HAVE STIFF LONG AS YOU CAN
HAVE DIFFICULTY EXCHANGING
GASES, PRIMARILY OXYGEN, BUT
SOMETIMES THE
’02. SO THAT KIND OF TAKES AWAY
THE THE BASIC STRUCTURE AND
FUNCTION OF ALONG IN A
PERMANENT WAY. IT
VARIES ON THE DEGREE THAT IT
HAPPENED SAW SOME PEOPLE IN MY
FRONT ROW SYSTEM PEOPLE HAPPY
VERY SEVERE FIBROSIS IN HANDS
YOU
TALK ABOUT CONSIDERING LUNG
TRANSPLANTATION BECAUSE THERE’S
REALLY NO RECOVERY
FROM THAT.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: AND DOES IT
TYPICALLY THEN HAPPENED RIGHT
AWAY OR IS THIS SOMETHING WHERE
SOMEONE MAY HAVE COVID-19 AND
THEN THEY
DEVELOP SEPARATELY MONTHS LATER
PNEUMONIA AND DON’T REALIZE
THEY’VE DAMAGED THEIR LUNGS AND
AS A RESULT THAT THEY CAN GET
VERY VERY SICK.
>> I THINK MOST OF THE TIME WE
KNOW WHEN THAT THIS IS
HAPPENING BECAUSE YOU HAVE IT
COVID PNEUMONIA THAT
OCCURS IN AND
IDEALLY YOU NEED TO TREAT THE
PATIENTS AND FRIENDS AND HAVE A
RECOVERY WOULD JUST
SUPPLEMENTAL OXYGEN BUT IF THEY
GO ON TO THE BALL, THE ACUTE
REST THROUGH THIS TEST RUN ON
AND ON THE
BILL EARLIER THAT IS A PROCESS
THAT CAN LEAD TO THE AT THAT
WOULD BE PRETTY OBVIOUS FAIRLY
QUICKLY AFTER RECOVERING FROM
FROM THE MOMENT, SO IT’S NOT
SOMETHING THAT THAT.
FOR THE MOST PART IT’S NOT
SOMETHING THAT’S GOING TO BE
SEEN DOWN THE LINE YOU’RE GOING
TO
SEE IT AND THE RECOVERY FACE OF
THE MOUNTAIN SO SO YOU KNOW
SOONER THAN
LATER CERTAINLY.
>>JENNIFER WAUGH: IS THERE A
MESSAGE HERE FOR YOUNGER PEOPLE
AND LET ME PREFACE THAT BY
SAYING I
HAVE HEARD YOU KNOW YOUNG
PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY WHO
HAVE BASICALLY SAID YOU KNOW I
JUST WISH I’D GET THE VIRUS.
IT’S NOT GOING TO MAKE ME THAT
SICK IT ONLY REALLY YOU KNOW
MAKES PEOPLE 65 AND OLDER
REALLY REALLY SICK.
AND THEN YOU KNOW I’VE GOT THE
ANTIBODIES TO PROTECT MYSELF.
YOU KNOW I DON’T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT IT IS THAT A FALSE SENSE
OF SECURITY AMONG YOUNG PEOPLE.
>> I THINK IT IS I THINK COVID IN AN UNPREDICTABLE WAY CAN CAN
INDIVIDUAL IS PROBABLY HEALTHY
AND YOUNG
INCLUDING THROUGH. PRETTY
SEVERE SYNDROME THAT CAN HAVE
LONG LASTING CONSEQUENCES,
INCLUDING THE 5 ROSES. THEY CAN
EAT IT FORTUNE THE NUMBERS ARE NOT HIGH OR THEY’RE THERE AND YOU REALLY CAN’T PREDICT WHO IS
GOING TO ON GETTING THAT SICK. SO THAT’S THAT’S NUMBER ONE NUMBER 2 IS REALLY LOOKING
AFTER HER. THOSE ARE REAL
ISSUES OUT THERE I THINK IF YOU
IF YOU WILL PROTECT EACH OTHER.
WE’RE YOUR YOU’RE PROTECTING YOURSELF BECAUSE YOU’RE ALWAYS YOU’RE YOUNG AND HEALTHY YOU
CAN STILL
GET SICK. BUT ALSO YOU’RE
PROTECTING EVERYBODY AROUND
YOUR FRIENDS FAMILY. THAT’S
VERY IMPORTANT. >>JENNIFER WAUGH: WHAT ARE YOU EXPERIENCING NOW THAT WE’RE YOU
KNOW 3 AND A HALF MONTHS IN
THIS YOU PERSONALLY AT THE
HOSPITAL ASSOCIATED WITH THE
KINDS OF PATIENTS THAT YOU ARE
TREATING WHO HAVE BEEN INFECTED
WITH THE VIRUS.
>> WE YOU KNOW WE’RE
SEEN WHAT’S BEEN DESCRIBED OUT
THERE IN THE IN THE BOAT WAS
SEEN WITH THE PUBLIC
HEALTH ALERT EXPERTS ARE
TELLING US THAT YOU KNOW WITH
COMMUNITY SPREAD. WE HAVE MORE
MISSIONS TO THE HOSPITAL WE
HAVE MORE ICU ADMISSIONS AND
ANYTIME YOU HAVE THAT SITUATION
YOU’RE GOING TO END UP IN SOME
DEVELOPING A SEVERE CASE OF COVID PNEUMONIA WITH THE ART YES, AND YOU CAN HELP PROBLEMS
LIKE FIBROSIS AND AS YOU CAN
REAL ISSUES CAN
HAVE UP MENTAL ISSUES TO I MEAN
THAT THERE ARE SOME ISSUES THAT
GO THROUGH THE ICE YOU SETTING.
I CAN END UP
SYNDROME THINGS IOT DISORDERS
DEPRESSION. YOU CAN
IT’S A NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT
COMMENT A PROBLEM SO
IT’S SETHING TO RESPECT AND I
THINK JOB. WE WE SEE AND WE RESPECTED AND THAT’S WHY WE ARE PROPONENTS OF OF A SOCIAL
DISTANCING AND USING YOUR MASK
BECAUSE REALLY WANT TO AVOID A
SITUATION WHERE. OUR HOSPITALS ARE ON BECAUSE THEN WE CAN NOT DELIVER THE BEST
CARE POSSIBLE.
