With Netrebko under hospital care Russia, we now hear that the Hungarian soprano Ildiko Komlosi tested positive for Covid-19 test on Monday and was rushed to hospital in an ambulance the following day.

Admitted to intensive care, she avoided being put on a ventilator and has now been sent home. ‘It is certainly one of the worst diseases of my life,’ she says, ‘but I will recover, we will recover!’

    I would recommend reading this short paper by Wise in BMJ on Cov-19 and thrombosis. Pulmonary embolism, is a common issue with many patients.

    Thrombosis UK, a charity have some useful information relating to Cov-19. Please if you are in the at risk category or live in a cov-19 hotspot, read and watch the webinars.
    Pulmonary embolism, DVT, clotting in the lungs all very nasty indeed.

    Komlosi is a mezzo, not a soprano… Let’s hope that She will get well soon! All the best wishes for Her!!!

  • David says:

    Just frightening

  • Marg says:

    Best wishes to both for a full recovery with no lingering after effects.

  • Straussian says:

    I’ve always thought she’s a mezzo. Not that it matters in this context…

    John Campbell’s pandemic update on you tube says it all folks. Please watch it and learn about antibody and prospective studies.
