I've been passing this article that came out in January:
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/12/nation/heart-failure-deaths-in-us-covid-pandemic/?s_campaign=8315:varf

I decided to search for the original article - the Globe seems to have picked it up first, but that's not the concerning thing.

The search reminded me that the resulting heart damage caused by Covid has been studied CONSTANTLY since the original pandemic started. But to the everyday Joe Schmoe, Covid is over and "It's only a cold".

"Sorry your seemingly healthly 30 year old son dropped dead of a heart attack." But his chart will often show us that he had previously contracted Covid. It doesn't have to be a bad infection to cause this kind of damage.

We can never really know if it was really what caused the issue. Only research like this can confirm what we already suspected, #Covid19 can cause harmful long-term outcomes.
