Cite something -- anything -- legitimate that points long-term organ damage in young, otherwise healthy people. Newspaper anecdotes don't count.
All evidence so far is that a small fraction of people sick enough to be in the ICU end up with some sort of non-lung organ involvement. The vast majority (>99.98%) of young (<50 years), healthy people don't end up in the hospital at all, let alone the ICU.

- timr 7y agoRight. So a day after you make your comment implying lots of young people are experiencing long-term organ damage, the WaPo discusses an as-yet-unpublished paper discussing a small number of stroke victims who may or may not have been influenced by this virus. If this is the best you can do, you're grasping at straws.
