- Angostura 5y agoOh we already know that Covid is not great during pregnancy, leading to slightly increased risk of premature birth, apart from anything else.

- hadlock 5y agoYeah Arthur C. Clarke (of 2001: A Space Oddessey fame, among other monumenal science fiction works) famously had polio, but later (28 years later!) experienced partial paralysis in his 40s. He ended up mostly in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Prior to that he had no signficant health complications. You could call it "long polio". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-polio_syndrome https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-polio_syndrome We'll only find out about long-term side effects of Covid... when/if they happen. Should be interesting, to say the least.
