Well, eventough that's true there are many patients I know (who as far as I knew were in decent health) are stil struggling 3 months after the infection and can barely walk for 15 min without feeling exhausted. So we might say dying sucks, but there's also quite the group (1000's in the NL) that are struggling with post-covid symptons for over 3 months now.

You know lots of people who have been infected and are still struggling?

if you don't mind my asking, how old are they?

Well it's quite a common thing. Covid Associated Lung Disorder (CALD) is the official name for it. It remains to be seen if will be permanent scar on the lungs resulting in less lung capacity.

The problem is there's no clear distinction in age when it comes to CALD (unlike death). My neighbour was in her 60's and had recovered and returned to full fitness within weeks yet my ex-girlfriend is 23 and can't even go up 3 stairs for over 4 months. I could go on for a while.
