The COVID-19 Pandemic: Recovery & Rehabilitation after Infection

Since the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of people have been infected by this novel coronavirus. Various aspects of the virus still remain enshrouded in mystery, and there are extreme variations in how the virus is impacting the health and lives of people. Many are experiencing drastic bouts of illness, the need for intensive hospital care, and a devastating number of deaths. On the other hand, a large percentage of the infected — roughly 25% to 40% — remain asymptomatic. These undetected asymptomatic individuals serve as carriers of disease, becoming critical vectors in the transmission of COVID-19, thereby infecting others who may be susceptible to severe illness. While everyone is potentially at risk for complications resulting from COVID-19, older adults are the most vulnerable population.

A massive meta-analytic study reviewing 24,410 cases of COVID-19 conducted by a consortium of university researchers verifies the list of the major symptoms presented by the World Health Organization (WHO). Some of the most common symptoms of COVID-19 found in this study include:

fever (78%)
cough (57%)
fatigue (31%)
loss of ability to smell (25%)
shortness of breath (23%)
rigors/chills (18%)
muscle aches (17%)
wheezing (17%)

Other common symptoms, according to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), include:

nausea
sore throat
vomiting
diarrhea
headache
congestion
runny nose
chest pain
joint pain

As the pandemic rages on, many infected individuals surviving COVID-19 face extreme debility post-infection, including:

residual damage to the respirtatory system
continued shortness of breath
pneumonia and secondary lung infections
residual damage to the nervous system
Guillain-Barre Syndrome
headaches/migraines
cognitive complications
residual damage from blood clots
organ failure due to blood clots
fatigue, exhaustion, and generalized weakness
post-infection stroke
post-infection heart attack/myocardial infarction
exacerbation of pre-infection chronic diseases

The VTP COVID-19 Recovery & Rehab Program is designed to ensure that you maximally recover from your COVID-19 post-infection symptoms and mitigate the chance of triggering debilitating events.
