COVID-19 patients are six times more likely than uninfected people to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) and nearly twice as likely to receive a new diabetes diagnosis, but the risk begins to recede at 5 weeks and 12 weeks, respectively, concludes a UK study published yesterday in PLOS Medicine.King's College London researchers analyzed the electronic medical records of 428,650 previously healthy COVID-19 patients and an equal number of matched controls seen at UK family practices from 2020 to 2021.

Patients were followed from diagnosis to 4 weeks, 5 to 12 weeks, and 13 to 52 weeks. The median age was 35 years.81% higher risk of diabetes in first 4 weeksCOVID-19 patients had 81% (adjusted rate ratio [aRR], 1.81; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.51 to 2.19) more new diabetes diagnoses in the first 4 weeks after infection, and their risk stayed elevated by 27% (aRR, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.11 to 1.46) for up to 12 weeks.Infection was also tied to a 6-fold increase in new CVD diagnoses, including an 11-fold jump in pulmonary embolism (blood clots in the lungs; aRR, 11.51; 95% CI, 7.07 to 18.73), a 6-fold increase in abnormal heart rhythms (aRR, 6.44; 95% CI, 4.17 to 9.96), and a 5-fold rise in venous thromboses (clots in blood vessels; aRR, 5.43; 95% CI, 3.27 to 9.01).

Rates of heart attack (aRR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.34 to 3.00), heart failure (aRR, 5.23; 95% CI, 2.04 to 13.44), and stroke (aRR, 3.31; 95% CI, 2.05 to 5.35) also increased.The risk of CVD, however, started to normalize after 5 weeks (aRR, 1.49; 95% CI, 1.28 to 1.73) and returned to baseline or lower within 12 to 52 weeks (aRR, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.99 to 1.16).Long-term outlook goodThe authors noted that SARS-CoV-2 can lead to an outsized immune response and hyperinflammation,

'Ball is in your corner': Family accusing Sesame Place of discrimination calls on Sea World to take action
NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. - A week after a controversial video of an incident at Sesame Place went viral, the family is calling on its parent company Sea World to take action.Jodi Brown posted the video of her daughter Skylar Brown, 6, and niece Nylah Brown, 6, being ignored by the character Rosita during a parade at the theme park. The video, which has been viewed more than 750,000 times, sparked national outrage and prompted celebrities and public figures to call on Sesame Place for answers.Sesame Place has issued three apologies, calling the incident "unacceptable" and saying it would conduct training for employees to deliver a more "inclusive, equitable and entertaining experience."More families have since come forward with allegations and videos alleging similar experiences at the park. A new video shared Friday appears to show Rosita interacting with a white child after ignoring Skylar and Nylah. The video also allegedly contradicts Sesame Place's claim that the character was motioning "No" to another family.RELATED HEADLINESIn a second press conference Saturday, attorney B'Ivory Lamarr stood alongside attorney Ben Crump, Jodi Brown and both children, who he called the "faces of America as it stands against racism."Crump, a civil rights and personal injury attorney, says they are demanding action from Sea World, telling the parent company, "The ball is in your corner.""We will see if Sea World will do the right thing: danger or opportunity," he said.
