Long-covid isn't just about neurological issues. Cardiovascular and Pulmonary issues are the most common. As high as 32% of cases are still experiencing symptoms 6 weeks later. It's unknown how long those will last.

One-third of patients may experience ‘long COVID’

I've seen a lot of downplaying on this forum in regards to Covid, which surprises me considering our careers are contingent on being healthy.
