For many people who contract mild, moderate, or severe COVID-19, the disease's effects don't disappear when the infection fades. A systematic review and meta-analysis published Monday to the journal Scientific Reports found that 80% of cases result in at least one long-term symptom.
The authors of the report scoured more than 18,000 publications, seeking studies assessing the long-term effects of COVID-19 with at least 100 subjects. They found fifteen studies, which collectively followed 47,910 patients for as long as 110 days post-infection. They then pooled the data to discern the prevalence of chronic side effects.
"The five most common symptoms were fatigue (58%), headache (44%), attention disorder (27%), hair loss (25%), and dyspnea [difficult breathing] (24%)," the reviewers reported.
In total, they turned up 55 potential long-term symptoms. Other notable chronic effects included loss of taste (reported in 23% of cases), loss of smell (21%), cough (19%), sweating (17%), and hearing loss (15%).

Unfortunately, none of the studies included in the review were stratified by disease severity, so we don't know for sure if worse disease exacerbates long-term symptoms, though it seems likely.
"The results assessed in the present study are in line with the current scientific knowledge on other coronaviruses, such as those producing SARS and MERS," the authors wrote. "For example, studies on SARS survivors have shown lung abnormalities months after infection."
The authors also noted that the effects of long-term COVID-19 partly resemble those of chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), a nebulous, controversial diagnosis that currently lacks an established cause. CFS sufferers are plagued by "severe incapacitating fatigue, pain, neurocognitive disability, compromised sleep... and worsening of global symptoms following minor increases in physical and/or cognitive activity," the reviewers described….
…"Given that COVID-19 is a new disease, it is impossible to determine how long these effects will last,"…

We live in Florida, according to the MSM, we live in Wuhan Flu Central. We are both professionals with a wide range of co-workers, in constant contact with hundreds of people through the course of our professional lives. We discuss this issue regularly. Not a single person we know or have encountered has had a single day of sickness in the last several years. Not one.
Our neighbors on one side and across the street are husband and wife nurses. They have not been sick and none of their co-workers have been sick either. They tell us at the peak of the “pandemic” their hospitals had no more people in ICU than is normal.
Our youngest is a college student and gamer. He attends numerous large gaming events. He has not been sick a day in the last few years. He drives for Uber to earn some money. Exposing himself to a great many strangers daily.
The one thing our nurse neighbors tell us quietly is, the incidences of reported Influenza in the Florida State reporting system have fallen to minuscule numbers compared to historical data.
Those same databases are populated with Covid-19 cases. Covid reporting means CASH inflow to the hospitals from the Feds. Influenza reporting does not.
Loss of the senses of smell and taste occur to those who never even went to the hospital.
I personally know half a dozen relatives who have this after effect.
They had the virus more than six months ago. Range in age from thirties to sixties.
Uncertain on the vax status of my colleagues beyond knowing they were offered the vax at work, as was everybody else. Obviously, my wife had her illness before the vax and has taken the shots since then.
And the kicker is, a shot isn’t going to prevent it from happening.
I hope and pray those symptoms subside for you. Weird thing for me is i actually was cutting down and finally quit smoking cigarettes about a week before getting Covid so not sure if that was the worst timing or what as my lungs was coughing up crap from smoking as well as being infected from Covid. Either way the post Covid effects make me feel like what i would assume is what COPD feels like even though when i smoked i never had any shortness of breath, asthma, COPD or even any type of cough.
So sorry about your brother.
May he rest in peace.
Have her try taking a Zinc supplement.
Prayers.
She had natural, lifelong immunity.
What, do you suppose, made her take these shots?
Sorry for your loss.
Gosh, you have been through the mill. I sure hope you will get better, little by little.
Do you still take ivermectin? I am wondering if that would help with after effects.
Hah. Look on the bright side.
Good idea.
Yes. Robber’s relief is the same thing as thieves oil. That’s just the brand I bought off amazon.
Prayers for your brother.
“And the kicker is, a shot isn’t going to prevent it from happening.”

Not this crap yet again!
The Phase 3 clinical trials showed that the mRNA vaccines were about 95% effective, compared to Placebo recipients in the trials, in preventing SYMPTOMATIC disease and close to 100% effective in preventing severe disease and death. Those Phase 3 clinical trials did NOT look to see if non-symptomatic infection was prevented. But subsequent studies comparing vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals not only validated the trials’ 95% symptomatic disease prevention finding but also additionally found that, compared to the unvaccinated, full vaccination prevented 90% of DETECTABLE infections. If a person does not have a detectable level of virus it’s highly unlikely they could be infectious. Of course that leaves 10% (split roughly 5% symptomatic and 5% NON-symptomatic) that could be infectious so it is definitely possible to be infected by someone previously vaccinated. But a far larger PERCENTAGE of the unvaccinated are likely to be the source of an infection.
So, yes the mRNA vaccines prevent 90% of infections! I’ll take those odds. 90% is better than 0% to all but the deranged amongst us.
The REAL thing we should be concentrating on is THIS WAS A BIOLOGICAL ATTACK BY THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY ON EVERY HUMAN BEING ON EARTH.

ALTERNATIVE SAFE WAYS TO KEEP YOUR RESISTANCE UP & FIGHT COVID -19. AS WELL AS “VARIATIONS” AND A HOST OF OTHER INFECTIONS INCLUDING THE FLU.
THIS REGIME WILL “NOT” PREVENT YOU FROM CATCHING THIS CRAZY VIRUS BUT IF YOU DO, IT WILL HELP TO SHAKE IT OFF FAIRLY QUICK, FOR SOME PEOPLE IT WORKS SO WELL THEY DON’T EVEN FEEL THEY GOT IT. BESIDES IT WILL ALSO WORK AGAINST OTHER RELATED VIRUSES; NOT ONLY THAT, BUT WILL BENEFITS YOUR HEALTH AS WELL, IF YOU CATCH THIS VIRUS OR NOT. EITHER WAY YOU WIN. ALONG WITH IT YOU WILL HAVE AQUIRED NATURAL IMMUNITY WITOUT ANY SHORT OR LONG TERM ADVERSE SIDE EFFECTS.
There are other ways and means to enhance your resistance against viruses including that by now infamous covid-19 virus aside from taking any of these “Quick” developed vaccines utilizing a messenger RNA. So far science has not evolved far enough yet to be certain how the human body will react many month or years down the road once we start tinkering around with our RNA and how our bodies will react should we encounter mutated strains of similar viruses.
Below is a list of vitamins as well as nutrients SUGGESTED BY A PHYSICIAN to enhance your resistance, they are harmless and even beneficial to your body unless someone goes crazy and over doing it. Even so they will NOT protect you from getting any specific viruses; neither will any of those new “QUICK” developed vaccines. But not only will they make you more resistant but also help you to overcome the effects of such a virus more quickly, should you have bad luck getting it. And once you are over it, your natural immune system will take over and protect you considerably better than any vaccination, this according to a statement by Merck. The CATCH is to have these vitamins/nutrients in your system BEFORE you think you have caught this virus, as time is of essence so your system starts fighting the virus BEFORE it gets a chance to do any damage.
A suggestion to the wise, take some time and read up on each of these suggested components which is freely available on the internet.
Vitamin D — Vitamin D supplements are readily available and one of the least expensive supplements on the market. All things considered, vitamin D optimization is likely the easiest and most beneficial strategy that anyone can do to minimize their risk of COVID-19 and other infections, and can strengthen your immune system in a matter of a few weeks.
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) — NAC is a precursor to reduced glutathione, which appears to play a crucial role in COVID-19. According to one literature analysis,7 glutathione deficiency may actually be associated with COVID-19 severity, leading the author to conclude that NAC may be useful both for its prevention and treatment. For best results should always be taken with two to three times the amount of vitamin C. DO NOT GET IT MIXED UP WITH ACETYL L-CARNITINE
Zinc — Zinc plays a very important role in your immune system’s ability to ward off viral infections.
Like vitamin D, zinc helps regulate your immune function8 — and a combination of zinc with a zinc ionophore, like hydroxychloroquine or quercetin, was in 2010 shown to inhibit SARS coronavirus in vitro. In cell culture, it also blocked viral replication within minutes.9 Importantly, zinc deficiency has been shown to impair immune function.
Melatonin — Boosts immune function in a variety of ways and helps quell inflammation. Melatonin may also prevent SARS-CoV-2 infection by recharging glutathione11 and enhancing vitamin D synthesis, among other things.
Vitamin C — A number of studies have shown vitamin C can be very helpful in the treatment of viral illnesses, sepsis and ARDS,12 all of which are applicable to COVID-19. Its basic properties include anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, antithrombotic and antiviral activities. At high doses, it actually acts as an antiviral drug, actively inactivating viruses. Vitamin C also works synergistically with quercetin.
Quercetin — Quercetin is the most abundant dietary flavonoid, found enriched in cranberry, onions, blueberry, apples, and tea. As a polyphenol compound, it is ALSO considered a potent iron chelator. A powerful immune booster and broad-spectrum antiviral, quercetin was initially found to provide broad-spectrum protection against SARS coronavirus in the aftermath of the 2003 SARS epidemic,14,15,16 and evidence suggests it may be useful for the prevention and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 as well. Not only that but quercetin also acts as an ionophore for zinc similar to hydroxychloroquine, in a matter of speaking it will unlock the cells to let the zinc in where it can attack the virus . It is also a good pain killer and better for the human body than Aspirin, what helps to subdue arthritis pain. I is good for sinus infection, in other words if you happen to have a runny nose. Past studies have also shown that quercetin showed potent ability against some viruses, such as enterovirus, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), and the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV).
B vitamins — B vitamins can also influence several COVID-19-specific disease processes, including17 viral replication and invasion, cytokine storm induction, adaptive immunity and hypercoagulability.
SUGGESTED DOSAGE
All components as suggested are individually obtained and freely available and if used with some common sense are not harmful and if anything beneficial to your health. However it is a good idea and highly recommended to read up on each component, as there is plenty of information available on the internet. You may be surprised to find out and learn about the many benefits they provide to your health.
Here is a suggested approximate dosage for each.
Vitamin D 1500 IU
Malatonine 3mg to 6mg suggested about one hour before you go to sleep.
QUERCETIN 500 mg to 1000 mg
NAC 500 mg to 1000 mg (N-Acetyl-Cysteine)
Zinc 50 mg
Vitamin C 1500 mg or MORE !! but always should be to two three times as much as NAC
Vitamin B complex
So far whoever has been taking this regime of supplements and may have had a brush with this virus, shook it off fairly easily and quickly and the most important thing was that in the process such a person also acquired natural immunity. Not only that but at the same time this regime also helps to ease the effects of the regular flu.

Good post.
I have been on that same vitamin regimen since April 2020 along with approx 25 friends/family members. All of us socially active...restaurants, church, weddings, travel, etc. In other words, we’ve not changed our lives the past year. Not a one of us has tested positive and not a one has even had a cold. I’ve added hydroxychloroquine 200mg each Sunday starting about 6 mos ago.

Excellent regimen. Pretty much what I’ve been doing. I have been taking 5000 iu of Vit D3 per day for years and have never been sick (thank you Lord). With the China Virus, I upped it to 10,000 iu. I think zinc and quercetin are the most important.

Been on similar regimens since August of 2020. Attended parties public events even a professional football game. Oh, and I fall in the high-risk category.
Also posted recently about hearing friends and associates who’ve taken the jab complain about the after effects.
Also note that my position would not recommend that I take this experimental vaccine.
The most common symptom is the vax turns previously normal people into crazy fascists!
“Hopefully none of us who get COVID-19 will have these long term effects.”

And there are thousands of long term effects from obstinately (avoidably) being vapid, fearful and effeminate. Hopefully none of us allow ourselves to slip into that kind of lifestyle.
