Asides from that, recovery rate is 98% recovered directly from Covid infection, this does not include lingering side effects from damage caused, just means you did not die directly from the virus. Some statistics to think of, Influenza killed 22,000 in the 2019-2020 US season, a big difference to the 500,000 deaths from Covid in one year. What this has to do with Virgin, I don't know, as it was stuffed well before Covid came along.
not sure when covid alarmists and fear merchants are going to give up beating this drum....it's getting tiresome. There simply isn't the data to back these claims up - and hence no serious studies have been or are being conducted as a result, because it's no different to lasting effects very small percentages get
from influenza. How will it affect medicals? No different to any other respiratory illness you may or may not contract. But sure, keep trying to perpetuate the Covid boogeyman of uncertainty.

Covid has ravaged people with compromised immune systems and obesity. No surprise, there was a hell of a lot of those in the US that make up those death statistics. Live healthy, don't be a fat pig, take the vaccine if you are in a risk category and move on with your life. The rest of the world is not going to sit around like this for the next 10 years like you covid alarmists want to.
