My brother, ever the paranoid, is bringing up how we have to be super careful about this virus because there may be lots of organ damage, etc, for even a healthy young person having it.
Basically, he doesn’t want to deal with fall-out from COVID “for the rest of my life”.
Anyone have opinions on this or summarize what’s been stated? Any articles?
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.
The small number of people who have had permanent damage is similar to the number of people who have had significant damage from other serious lung-affecting flus, and a lot less than the number of people who got permanent damage from small pox or Lyme Disease.
It is a crime for those panic-mongers to suggest that such damage is to be routine expected.
How can there even be stories of “long term damage” when the entire episode is about 4 months old?
Crazy.
If there was serious long-term damage, the MSM would be incessantly talking about it. The fact that they are not is telling.
I doubt anyone will be able to tell you much about that for the next 5 years or so. Until then it’s just a guess.
One person here, with scientific genetic background and knowledge of Chinese....is watching to see the long term issues with fertility.
I am finding that the long term problems relate to microembolisms.
Here is April 20th article from ABC News about covid clots.

Ask the ChiComs to share that data with you.
Most Americans who had this virus and survived are doing fine.
Some of us might have had it from Thanksgiving on.
We don’t know anyone, who has had this virus except for an 80+ year old mother of a woman we know. That 80 year+ lady was in a NJ nursing, developed pneumonia and sent to a hospital. She was diagnosed somehow as a CV+ and was sent by to the nursing home. She died 4 days later. Supposedly, she had a DNR and had asked for cremation which they did. Her California daughter knew nothing of the DNR and cremation order.
Our current California county is supposedly running hundreds of tests per day for free. In the past week a lot of positives have occurred. No one has been sent to a hospital.
The largest % are Hispanic and zero +’s are sick enough to be admitted to a hospital. They are asymptomatic, no fever and feel okay. Over a dozen came from the same household.
What about thee long term effects of ,flu,aids,common cold,drugs, alcohol,tobacco,trans fats, etc.,etc.,etc.? We could go on cowering before the likes of Fauci forever. Man up America! Its our country and we are taking it back!
I’m sure they are working hard at coming up with some pure, utter Bullshit to keep us masked and controlled.
They found a way to dictate whims and they’re not letting it go.
It varies from patient to patient but seems to mostly be a problem for the few that have to be put on a ventilator and survive. According to both a handful of doctors and a respiratory therapist friend - one of the most likely theories is physical damage done to lung tissues trying to force air in to lungs that are literally “glued” with the tar-like mucus generated in response to this virus. Ventilators are basically a last-ditch “hail-Mary” effort to bring O2 numbers up.
The other long-term issue is for those who had their oxygen levels fall below safe levels multiple times or for extended periods. That would be primarily in the form of brain damage.
Beyond that, it appears that most lingering issues eventually go away, sometimes taking several weeks after “recovery”.
But maybe others have more information that what I have been told.
I am very upset about the handling of this virus and the stress has probably taken many yrs off my life.....wearing the mask all the time at work has probably given me heart damage....
Do your own research. Don’t rely on these posts that don’t post medical links. Nothing here is suppositions from their neighbor’s yardman’s sister’s boyfriend’s dog’s groomer’s cousin.
To be determined. It's only been around for six months.
Tell him to take two 100 IU’s of D3, vitamin C and a magnesium, calsium & zinc vitamin every day and go outside for 30 min a day to twart getting it Been everywhere maskless and never got so much as the sniffles. Oh and tell him to grow a pair and stop being a Mary!
The long-term effects of cv-19 are not in the area of Health. They are in the area of a government eager to prove to you they are your savior, and the resultant swing of 10 or 20% of the US population who wish to believe that myth, and who will vote for whomever they believe to be their savior indefinitely.
Coronavirus: One in ten are suffering post viral effects which will be ‘a big problem’ says expert.
The official response to the virus is doing a lot more damage than anything.
The Flubros will recover fine, since they’re convinced it’s nothing more than the common cold. Not so great for the rest of us, though.
