I understand that gradually the thinking is moving to it being more of a whole body issue than just a lung issue - and the NICE guidelines have just been updated I to refer to the longer term impacts - though so far they don't seem the same as polio, or as common. https://www.news-medical.net/amp/news/20200712/First-extensive-review-of-COVID-19s-effects-on-all-affected-organs-outside-the-lungs.aspx https://www.news-medical.net/amp/news/20200712/First-extensi...
My wife had covid, and now nearly 4 months later is still ill. 3 people recently on her online group have been able to get EKGs (not ecg) and all have shown scarring of the heart. What this means for them remains to be seen, as does if this is at all common - this could be chance or we could see more people with longer term issues coming out of this. Gut feel, I'd guess that we might see as many serious long term effects as we see deaths - but there is a long way to go before we can prove or disprove that - I really hope I am wrong.

I hope you are wrong, too. But this is another one of the insidious aspects of this disease that I've read about myself. I'm sorry to hear your wife is still ill. I wish her a full recovery.
