Q: What is “long-haul COVID”?
Dr. Vijak Ayasanonda, Vice Chairman & Co-Medical Director, Emergency Department, Maui Health: Most people with COVID-19 indeed recover from the illness. But there is growing evidence that some people experience long-term symptoms even after they recover. These symptoms can last for weeks or even months after the initial COVID-19 infection.
According to the CDC, some common symptoms of “long-haul COVID” can include fatigue, shortness of breath, cough, joint pain and chest pain. Others have reported long-term symptoms including “brain fog,” depression, persistent muscle pain, headache, intermittent fever and a racing heartbeat.
While less common, some people have reported more serious long-term complications from COVID-19, including inflammation of the heart, persistent problems with lung function, kidney damage, skin rashes, hair loss, ongoing loss of taste and smell, memory problems, anxiety and mood changes.

With children homebound like never before due to the pandemic, there are new risks posed by firearms. Half of all unintentional shooting deaths among children occur at home and nationally one out of every three homes with children also has a gun.
The Ohio Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics has teamed up with firearm owners, pediatricians and others to create the Partnership for Safety of Children Around Firearms, and launched a pilot program called Store It Safe, to encourage safe storage of firearms and help educate families. As part of the program, pediatrician s offices will offer gun lock boxes to parents.
