April 20, 2021 We have long known the health benefits of increasing our heart rate, sweating, walking around Cebu Business Park, swimming, climbing the stairs of SM City Cebu, playing basketball, biking up Bu-ak or Willy’s in one word: exercising.
But there has never been a study linking the contributions of physical movement versus the coronavirus until now.
I just read a New York Times article entitled “Regular Exercise May Help Protect Against Severe Covid.” Written by Gretchen Reynolds and published on April 14, it is a compelling piece on the benefits of exercise against this disease that has infected 141 million and killed three million.
A liver transplant recipient was reinfected with SARS-CoV-2 111 days after his initial diagnosis. Researchers from the University of Massachusetts Medical School and The Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard used viral genomic sequencing to distinguish whether the later positive samples were due to SARS-CoV-2 relapse or reinfection. The case report is published in
Annals of Internal Medicine.
A 61-year-old man with a history of liver transplant reported to the emergency department (ED) complaining of fever, nausea, vomiting, and cough. The patient tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection with a RT-qPCR swab taken at the time of his visit. Swabs taken 48 and 53 days after his visit were negative for the virus. On day 111, the patient returned to the ED reporting several days of increasing confusion, hallucinations, unstable gait, and frequent falls. Once again, the patient tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection.

It’s well known that pre-existing medical conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity, raise the risk of severe COVID-19. Now a new study suggests there might be another risk factor: inactivity.
That study, which analyzed COVID-19 outcomes in nearly 50,000 Californians who received their health care at Kaiser Permanente Southern California, found that patients who were consistently inactive had more than twice the risk of being hospitalized and of dying compared to those who had consistently followed physical activity guidelines, according to the report published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
