There is a mother on Twitter who said her son's heart stopped twice and he has now recovered, but has permanent scarring on his heart. He did not have heart conditions before the virus. Not enough details about all this have been posted with causes of death outside diagnosis, but I'm curious on the rate of heart failure. It seems to put a lot of strain on that system, which makes sense if it's causing issues breathing.
