Yes, the long term effects are concerning. I still tend to think people take Covid too lightly. Maybe 'lightly' isn't the right word. ...

It's been equated with the flu falsely. In other words, just because 90% of the people who have had it are asymptomatic doesn't mean they're didn't accrue bodily damage from it. It's not just the sniffles. It's as much a vascular and neurological disease as anything.

So will that damage show up down the road in people who didn't get "sick" when they got Covid today? In 10 or 20 years are we going to have a marked population increase of deaths due to heart attacks, strokes, aneurisms, or looks like Parkinson's or palsy but came from a virus? Or early onset dementia or Alzheimer's?

I hope not.

But scans show the damage is there, even in people who never experienced symptoms of illness. The question becomes, is that damage repairable, how long does it take to repair, and how well does it repair?
