My biggest fear of Covid19 is the fact that it may leave me with permanent organs damage even after recovery. permanently scarred lungs, kidneys, heart, liver...and that means I may not live to fight any other disease..and that is what MoH needs to make Kenyans understand. According to the World Health Organisation, the effect of coronavirus on lungs, which leads to permanent damage and inability to breathe normally is similar to one from SARS, a type of coronavirus that behaves like the Covid-19. "People who are lucky enough to survive a severe case of Covid-19 will need to have their kidney function monitored carefully through blood and urine tests to check for permanent damage." Medical professionals have cautioned that coronavirus patients who were once placed on ventillators and recovered still need to be monitored for lung damage, which if present may strain the heart and liver.
