#2: Says quite the opposite of what you claim. It details a story of someone accused of faking COVID19, ending with: "Finally, after contacting a Stanford Blood Center program seeking donations of plasma from recovered patients, Talkington took an antibody test — and it was positive, indicating that she had previously been infected with the coronavirus. 'It was very emotional to finally have validation, I sat down and cried for an hour,' said Talkington. The positive antibody test also cleared the way for her to get a cardiology referral, she said." There's little accurate statistics about how common or rare it is, but most point to pretty common. Anecdotally, plenty of in my extended circle who got COVID19 had extended symptoms. Non-anecdotally, Wikipedia cites studies: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Covid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Covid It looks to be about 2.2% of COVID19 are hit with long COVID. Studies show between 1/3 and a majority of people hospitalized for COVID19 show long COVID. That's not very very rare. That's hundreds of thousands of Americans, and millions worldwide. There is also increasing evidence around mechanisms. I'm not sure why the denialism about COVID19. "It's just a flu." "It will be gone by Easter." Yes, it's a serious disease. And yes, there are plenty of ways to keep safe, so once we know that, there's a lot we can do. Staying safe ain't rocket science.
