My anecdotal account is a single datapoint, as is yours. You had COVID-19 and completely recovered. My employee’s friend had COVID-19 and suffered long-lasting, possibly permanent effects. Together, these show that COVID-19 has wide-ranging effects, and it’s not “just the flu...”
“Together, these show that COVID-19 has wide-ranging effects”
Which is uncommon for a virus. People have been treating all sicknesses as though it is covid. Got a cold, covid. Got pneumonia, covid. Got in a car wreck, literally, they called it a covid death.
