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.
If you ignore the actual studies being completed, otherwise you would know even why its worse. Covid causes coagulation and clotting in capillaries, this in turn causes inflammation of the heart, which has been found present in up to 60% of patients months after recovery. Not sure what respiratory diseases you are comparing it to as there are many varied types that have complications worse or milder, but not the infection rate we see with Covid. Knowing nurses that have caught Covid in Australia, have lasting lung problems 6 months after the infection due to damage caused, and cant carry out normal daily activities as a result. If you want to bury your head in the sand and ignore the actual science go ahead.
