INCORRECT DIAGNOSIS - COVID, DENGUE, ZIKA, CHIKUNGUNYA ...



'Chikungunya a viral disease resembling dengue fever , is transmitted by mosquitoes

'Chikungunya  also resembles 'COVID'.'

Chikungunya and COVID‐19 in Brazil ... - Wiley Online Library

Brazil :

"Up to 67.9% of individuals in the region had contracted chikungunya. 

"Many of these people were diagnosed as COVID-19 positive, after February 2020, when testing for COVID-19 became possible in the region.

"Therefore, recently, cases of chikungunya and COVID-19 could have been diagnosed interchangeably, leading to incorrect diagnoses."

Further research required - why mRNA vaccines were a R & D project 10 years ago. 

Quote: "An acute viral infection with chronic sequelae is not unprecedented. 

Following our experience with post-chikungunya status, we were struck by the similarities between the long-lasting manifestations after COVID-19 and those after chikungunya virus infection, especially for general and mental disorders, impaired quality of life, and medico-social consequences. 

Post-chikungunya consequences might account for about 70% of disability-adjusted life-years following a chikungunya outbreak.

It took about 10 years to describe the post-chikungunya disorders and propose guidelines (still not evidenced-based).4 

Despite multi-continental outbreaks, there are still fewer than five well designed randomised-controlled trials, and no management strategy exists for patients who have been suffering post-chikungunya consequences for years. 

One reason for this neglect of the chronicity of chikungunya is a tendency to consider it a simple, short-lived infection like dengue.
