Also from the same article "It's important to remember that most people who have COVID-19 recover quickly. "

And can have life long damage, even if they recovered quickly and had mild symptoms.

I’m assuming some can also completely recover. 🤷‍♂️

It may be many years before we know for certain but it is hoped so.

A small minority, thats why the article said this can happen, but its important to remember etc etc.....

I really do wonder how a fair few members on here (and the general public) are going to cope when they end the  t̶y̶r̶a̶n̶n̶y̶ restrictions in June (hopefully)

Its seems like a security blanket for them.

But not completely?

the evidence of residual harm is still growing but its not yet clear about the extent of the hidden damage. So lets not be so so dismissive about the problem until the data is in?

 Which could be years from now. It might be really serious for lots of people in years to come, or it might not but the thought of kids with scarred lungs and damaged hearts  who never had any symptoms at the time is a real concern

Nobody is being dismissive, but we cannot afford for the sake of our physical, mental and financial health to carry on as we are.

By the way, Post Viral Syndrome, as it is more correctly referred to, isn't unique to COVID and is a bit of a lottery anyway.  If you were either accepting (or more likely, ignorant) of its risks from any other virus, what's so different about this one?

Believe me I am not ignorant of PVS, my first wife suffered for years and still does thirty years on. They called it ME and yuppie flu, dismissing it as "all in the mind". We were divorced before she got it but it has been a struggle for her ever since and she is still easily tired by routine day to day things even now. Her whole life these thirty odd years has been dominated  by her illness and nobody really gives a FFFFF

but it didn't leave scar tissue in the lungs and heart or reduced kidney and liver function like this one appears to do, even in kids under ten..

Ask the Mayo clinic, they posted the article, I was just adding the text that the PW member missed off.
