I know 22 people who caught COVID-19, including two people in my immediate and extended family, and not one of them has experienced any unusual health issues after they caught it. In fact, ALL of them either had no symptoms or mild symptoms.
So, they were the lucky ones. Now let me guess, you are gullible enough to believe that this personal experience tells you anything about all other cases worldwide, right? Just how much of a superior mind do you think you have?
I can tell that my mind is at least far superior to yours. I'll say that much.
Did you miss, or just choose to ignore, the part where I said that the statistics that I've read show that very few, only a small percentage, of survivors suffer serious health issues afterward?
Can a sample size of 22 people tell us "anything" about global numbers? Well, of these 22 people whom I know, four are over 65; one is 21; and the rest are between 21 and 64. I would never claim that my personal experience is scientific, but 22 people whose ages vary widely is not a meaningless number.
So, again, what is your source for claiming that "many" survivors suffer "extensive damage"?
I don't know where Jack got his information, but this has been reported by European media as well. But to you, that just probably means they are also in this massive conspiracy to take away your liberty, right?
"Massive conspiracy to take away your liberty"?! What a juvenile comment. Again, are you in high school? Does your mom know you're using her computer?
Now, I can't comment on sources that you guys don't/can't/won't produce. It is way too early to be claiming that "many" COVID-19 survivors suffer long-term health issues. The stats that I've seen do not support such a claim, at least not yet anyway. Here is what the CDC says on this issue:
"While most persons with COVID-19 recover and return to normal health, some patients can have symptoms that can last for weeks or even months after recovery from acute illness. Even people who are not hospitalized and who have mild illness can experience persistent or late symptoms. Multi-year studies are underway to further investigate. CDC continues to work to identify how common these symptoms are, who is most likely to get them, and whether these symptoms eventually resolve." (

The CDC then discusses "serious long-term complications," such as heart muscle inflammation, lung function problems, and acute kidney injury, and notes that such problems are "less common" than the mild symptoms that many people experience. The article adds that more study is needed to determine their significance.
So, let's see your sources for claiming that "many" survivors suffer "extensive damage." Let's see them.
And I'm just curious: What will you panic peddlers say if the case death rate drops below 2%?
