I agree. I think that the fact that it killed elderly so quickly misled people into thinking it is an old/weak person respiratory virus (a misconception many still hold) rather than a virus like AIDS or shingles like virus that can wreck anyone, of any age, just over a longer period of time.

This is the real danger of the virus and is the reason my family is still taking extraordinary measures not to get it. They just don’t understand enough about it yet. If I thought it was like the flu, I wouldn’t care, but thinking it could be something that plagues a person for who knows how long, that’s another story.
I know a long hauler (4 months) on another board, HCQ and other treatments knock it down, but it keeps coming back in waves and each is as bad as the first. The latest flares have caused seizures so it’s starting to affect his CNS. Healthy guy, mid forties.
