My favorite Long Covid story comes from Denmark:

"A study of the members of a Facebook group for people with late effects from corona has reached a surprising result: Around a third of the participants in the study did not have antibodies from an infection with corona. So they have not been infected with corona.

This is what Politiken writes about the study, which is published in the journal Microbiology Spectrum."

Also, it is not news that it frequently takes quite a while to fully recover from serious respiratory ailments. I have a Merck Manual from 1997 that says after a bout of flu, "changes in the airways may take 6 to 8 weeks to completely resolve. Weakness and fatigue may persist for several days or occasionally for weeks."

This was without throwing in all the harms lockdowns can do to your psyche and your physical condition.
