A new long-covid study based on the experiences of nearly 100,000 participants provides powerful evidence that many people do not fully recover months after being infected with the coronavirus.
The Scottish study found that between six and 18 months after infection, 1 in 20 people had not recovered and 42 percent reported partial recovery. There were some reassuring aspects to the results: People with asymptomatic infections are unlikely to suffer long-term effects, and vaccination appears to offer some protection from long covid.

It took 18 months for my sense of smell to return adequately. I still struggle with some flower and smells. I consider myself fortunate. Not dead.

I consider Scoop fortunate. We wouldn't want to have to hire somebody else to do the post-game writeups. He or she would probably demand triple your salary.

True. They are several payments behind already.

Long Covid is no joke. I know young people that were previously extremely fit and energetic reduced to a fraction of their former self with little hope in sight even months later.
People resigning from leadership positions, because of extreme fatigue and brain fog that won't go away and diminishes their abilities/efficacy.
