One of the biggest hurdles I run into when talking to people who downplay the pandemic is that they often say something like "it's not a big deal, 99% of people are fine." While it's true that only 1% die (which is horrible in and of itself, and should not be downplayed), it's also true that there are many long-term complications we are discovering.
I thought it would be a good idea to put together a list of sources for this, and was hoping others could pitch in. Here are a few that I find helpful, to start:
20% of people who recover from COVID-19 develop mental illness within 90 days:
Up to 10% of people could have long-term lung scarring:
Evidence of fatigue, cough, and congestion after recovery in 30-40% of people:
Please add anything you think is helpful!
