There isn't a study showing a significantly higher prevalence of adverse long-term effects compared to other respiratory viruses among healthy infectees.

Honestly, one thing we might get out of Covid is a better understanding of some chronic illnesses that we currently don't treat well (like Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, for instance).
