Not everyone will have these complications and at this point, it is not known which complications will be life long. I'm all for learning more about this disease that may wind up effecting me or a loved one. I'm accepting of any and all information that is available to me.
I can tell you from working in a Federal Government research hospital affiliated with Brown University, I get daily up to date Covid info to my .gov email that I am mandated to review from all the DC agencies along with the Covid research being done at Brown. That being said I have yet to read any info from all these sources about long-term effects of Covid. And the reason for that is that nobody who has already contracted Covid has lived long enough post recovery to experience what would be considered a long-term effect. So if you are finding information that is predicting a poor long-term prognosis for someone who has contracted and recovered from Covid that is speculative at best. And I don't see any useful purpose in sharing speculative info without noting the source from which it originated from so one would have the opportunity to review it and come to their own conclusions regarding it's validity.
