I just got over it. I am fine. No long term damage. Not even short term except I am still don’t have my sense of smell and taste back 100%> The people who have long term damage are the people who would have that damage if they had a bad case of penumonia. My gentleman friend is in the hospital now. He has it. (He gave it to me). He has COPD he is 72 years old. In March he had pneumonia and he almost died. It was terrible. This COVID thing doesn’t even come close to that. This is my experience only.
Hi. I’m so sorry you all are going through this! Sounds like your SO is suffering in the hospital; is it worse than the previous pneumonia or not?
How do you know you don’t have long-term? Even kidney damage was mentioned, e.g.
I don’t mean to be rude, but I just don’t know how anyone knows yet about long-term, and I doubt everyone gets thorough scans and tests to see if everything is as well as it was prior to COVID!
I’m just trying to find out if this is a valid concern.

Have you had your lungs xrayed? I would also get a CBC done, and hormone check too- just to be sure- The CBC can tell a lot- if an organ has been affected, it shoudl show up in one of the test results -
congratulations on your complete recovery. I am sorry so many fearpers are trying to get you tested for ongoing issues. Some people just cannot accept that for most this is a very minor illness
