That is merely a possibility and if it's actually the case, it happens rarely.

It beats social distancing for months.
- blub 6y agoWhich e.g. EU country is currently tracking the long-term sequelae of COVID? Where is this information available? So far we've only seen individual reports about lung damage (including potentially life long) in e.g. divers (including for non-stationary disease courses!), reports about kidney damage, mid-term loss of smell, etc. We're going to get a clear picture in years, so it's irresponsible to say it happens rarely. The people for which social distancing is a major problem will also have a huge issue with becoming bedridden for weeks on end. Think single-income earners, single parents, etc. Even for a couple with kids this could be a nightmare with one partner taking care of the kids and their sick significant other. Remember that the sick person has to isolate too!
- anoncake 6y agoYes, individual reports. Nothing frequent enough to care about.
