CoVid Is Sneakily Toxic in Pregnant Women

from Dr. Howard Smith OnCall · host Howard G. Smith MD, AM

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/ARMa-ZiUGMk   When a pregnant women catches CoVid she is 60% more likely to land in the ICU and almost twice as likely to require a ventilator for a prolonged period of time. An international team reviewed 77 available studies covering more than 11,400 women with data collection starting in late 2019.   Their results also warned that CoVid-infected pregnant women were 60% less likely than non-pregnant women to present with the common CoVid symptoms of fever and muscle aches.  Their babies were more likely to suffer pre-term birth and to land in the neonatal intensive care unit.   Pregnant women with CoVid are sicker than they seem and require close monitoring.   https://www.bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m3391   #covid #pregnancy #ventilator #icu #preterm
