TBS Today: করোনার তৃতীয় ঢেউয়ে তরুণরাও ঝুঁকিতে II Young and sick by covid

Over the last couple of weeks, Covid-19 has posed more challenges to Dr Fatema Ahmed in the intensive care unit of the capital's Birdem General Hospital. And the one thing that is on the top of her mind is how to counsel young patients and their family members so they can cooperate and get the best outcome of the treatment. As the third wave sweeps across the country with an explosion of Covid infections, people aged below 30 years are falling severely ill in large numbers with the coronavirus, a sign that clearly stands out from the previous two waves of the pandemic. "They were never admitted to hospital before – let alone to an intensive care unit. So, when they are attached to machines, such as a high-flow nasal cannula, they get panicked," said Dr Fatema, a critical care specialist at Birdem. "They can sense how critical their health condition is when even a wiggle disrupts their oxygen flow, and they start gasping," she added. Healthcare providers say they have seen younger people equally affected as elderly critical patients though they have no history of diabetes, hypertension and other comorbidities. Lungs of people aged 20-50 with seemingly good health have been affected as much as 80%. Most of them survive, while a few do not even respond to treatment.
