Yeah, my takeaway from the article is that a significant portion of those who become more than very mildly symptomatic will develop or retain at least one major long-term issue from the illness, possibly life altering depending on the severity of the issue. Fatigue and weakness are big issues and can be detrimental to one's ability to function, especially in a late-capitalism society (where one is EXPECTED to work to survive) and can incite and/or compound mental health issues like depression just because of the frustration that can develop.
Or, again, this isn't the flu, this is much much worse than the flu, partly because we're only starting to get a handle on the long-term damage it does to survivors, and I wouldn't be surprised to find similar issues even in the mildest of symptomatic cases, and even an uptick in the population of "I dunno, I just suddenly found my endurance completely shot, and the doctor went ahead and ordered an antibody test, and it came back positive, so I clearly got the damned thing even though it didn't put me in bed for a week, and they think that's what set off this endurance issue."
