This seems like an appropriate thread to resuscitate, based on a few recent posts regarding long term effects of covid:
1. Ergel posted this article
Covid-19 Can Last Several Months from The Atlantic, on long term effects of covid
2. Lurker posted this article

The article shows how 50% of the non-serious cases actually have greater internal damage, with potentially long-lasting health implications. Considering the social and economic impacts of a nation with potentially life-long health issues, I'd say we have every reason to keep as many people as possible from getting infected at all.
3. I've recently heard about the following cases
male, about 40, used to work out with a trainer, now gets winded after less than 10 minutes of activity
female, about 40, experiencing chronic pain on her side since having COVID
male, 60s, having visual problems since COVID
Yet
@ExGingi and
@Kobe bryent each say they know about 100 people who have no long-term problems. Do they really have no more symptoms, or they just haven't mentioned them? It would be helpful if those with many recovered friends could ask them specifically whether or not they have any remaining symptoms from COVID-19, and post the results here. Maybe DDF will contribute another breakthrough, like the early discovery of loss of smell as a symptom.
